Magnetic Biochar for Wastewater Remediation in the Textile IndustryAuthor(s): Dan Bahadur Pal, Ashish Kapoor, Neha Srivastava\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: CABI Publishing, United Kingdom\nImprint: CABI Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781836993995, 978-1836993995\nSynopsis\nWater consumption in the textile industry is high and textile dyes are complex organic molecules that are hard to treat. Every year thousands of tons of dyes are produced worldwide and approximately 10-15% of those remain in wastewater, contaminating groundwater and the environment. Conventional treatment methods present problems of inefficiency, high operational costs and secondary pollution, but magnetic biochar has emerged as a promising material for textile wastewater remediation as it has high adsorption capacity and reusability and is easy to separate using an external magnetic field. Exploring the synthesis, characterization and application of magnetic biochar in textile wastewater remediation, this book details the.
