The 1st Edition of Wastewater Treatment with Biochar: From Fundamental Research to Technical Developments and Applications investigates biochar performance as an adsorbent medium in wastewater treatment systems to advance clean water practices and carbon neutrality. Designed for graduate and postgraduate students in environmental engineering alongside academic and industrial researchers, this text clarifies fundamental processing principles and operational applications.

Thematic coverage highlights biochar deployment to extract microplastics, inorganic contaminants, synthetic dyes, and oil from aquatic environments. In addition to water purification, the volume evaluates biochar applications as a soil amendment, assessing heavy metal soil remediation together with direct changes in soil properties.

A primary analytical component delivers critical analysis of biochar synthesis, chemical modification, adsorbent regeneration, and after-use fate aligned with resource recovery and circular economy principles. This logical structure supports environmental engineering practitioners and university scholars seeking sustainable material strategies.
