Dalian Researchers Reveal Biochar’s Secret Superpower: Direct Destruction

In recent years, biochar has gained widespread recognition as an effective material for improving water quality and removing pollutants. Traditionally, its efficacy was attributed to adsorption — the process where toxic compounds are trapped on the surface of the biochar, much like a sponge absorbing liquids. In some advanced applications, biochar functions as a catalyst, assisting oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide to break down hazardous subst…
