Enhancing wastewater treatment: a study on steam explosion-biochar derived from Chinese herbal medicine residue for NOR adsorption

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , and a pH of 7.83. Economically, the biochar material offers cost benefits with a payback of 1.87 $ per kg. ASB4 demonstrated excellent stability and reusability, retaining a high NOR removal rate even after five cycles. This study highlights the potential of converting AR residues into activated carbons, aligning with circular economy principles and improving wastewater treatment efficiency.
