Advances on the application of biochar in radioactive wastewater treatment

Abstract

The domestic and foreign scholars found that biochar prepared from waste crops, animal manure, and tissues has a good adsorption effect on radioactive pollutants. Biochar is an ideal material for the adsorbent. This article summarizes the preparation methods and modification methods of biochar, and the adsorption characteristics of biochar to heavy metals and radioactive elements. This article also points out the problems and development trends in the current research of biochar.
