Biochar Applications: Advances in Environmental Remediation and Resource Recovery provides a combined approach between environmental science and environmental engineering that involves the improvement of the natural environment, or the remediation, of polluted sites. In addition, it discusses bioprocess engineering, including the synthesis, modification, characterization, and management of biochar from biomass waste materials. The book includes coverage on sources, impacts, and applications of biochar that could potentially be used as catalysts to enhance environmental remediation and resource recovery processes. Examples of applied research that demonstrate the relationship between wastewater, soil, contaminated environments, remediation, resource recovery, sustainability, and circular bioeconomy are also included.The book bridges the gap between biochar applications in wastewater treatment, soil improvement, gas mitigation, and resource recovery. - Provides advancements in the sustainable application of biochar in wastewater treatment processes, including adsorption, membrane, chemical and advanced oxidation, photocatalysis, filtration, constructed wetlands, aerobic activated sludge processes, and more- Highlights the significant contributions of biochar in the improvement of contaminated sites- Examines trends and current practices in the application of biochar for resource recovery, lifecycle assessment, and the mitigation of greenhouse and toxic gases from the environment
