Dr Debajyoti Kundu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering<\/a><\/span>, has published a research paper titled \u201cSynthesis, delineation and technological advancements of algae biochar for sustainable remediation of the emerging pollutants from wastewater – A Review<\/strong>\u201d in the esteemed Q1 journal \u201cEnvironmental Research<\/em>\u201d, which has an impact factor of 8.3.<\/p>\n

Dr Debajyoti\u2019s research focuses on using algae biochar, which is particularly effective at cleaning polluted water. The study reviews how this biochar is made and improved and how it can effectively remove harmful substances from wastewater. This process is sustainable and environmentally friendly, offering a promising solution to water pollution.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study examines the synthesis, technological advancements, and applications of algae biochar for the sustainable remediation of emerging pollutants from wastewater. It highlights the unique properties of algae biochar, including its high surface area, pore volume, and adsorption capacity, which make it an effective medium for removing inorganic and organic contaminants from wastewater. The paper discusses various methods for producing algae biochar, such as pyrolysis, gasification, and torrefaction, and explores chemical and structural modifications to enhance its pollutant removal efficiency.<\/p>\n

Practical Implementation \/Social Implications of the Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

The practical implementation of this research involves using algae-derived biochar in wastewater treatment plants to remove harmful pollutants. This can lead to cleaner water, reduced environmental pollution, and improved public health. The process is also sustainable and cost-effective, contributing to environmental conservation and resource efficiency.<\/p>\n
