Biochar‐Iron Oxide Composites for Adsorption of Chlorophenoxy Herbicides: Impact of Chlorine Substituents on Bath and Continuous Adsorption Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Iron oxide‐impregnated biochar from sugarcane bagasse exhibits remarkable efficiency in removing 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and chlorophenoxyacetic acid, offering a sustainable option for water purification. The material retains high performance under real conditions while meeting safety criteria for irrigation use. Distinct structural features and
