Abstract

Biochar (BC) is a low-cost sustainable adsorption material. Due to its broad application prospects, it has attracted a lot of research attention recently. Having several functional groups available on the surface, biochar treated by several methods can be modified and used as a catalyst or catalyst support. Functional groups attached to the surface of biochar can trigger active free radical species to play an important role, thereby causing destruction of pollutants as catalysts and removal of adsorbents by involving electron transfer or redox processes. Biochar-based materials can be used to remove inorganic contaminants, such as heavy metal, nitrate or phosphate. Biochar-based materials can also be used to repair eutrophic water by releasing compounds containing N or P. This chapter reviews more feasible and sustainable biochar-based materials, which effectively remove environmental pollutants as catalysts or carriers, and discusses the use of biochar-based materials as catalysts.
