Journal Article
Priyanka, Wood, I., Al-Gailani, A., Kolosz, B. W., Cheah, K. W., Vashisht, D., Mehta, S., & Taylor, M. J. (2024). Cleaning up metal contamination after decades of energy production and manufacturing: reviewing the value in use of biochars for a sustainable future. Sustainability, 16(20), Article 8838. https://doi.org/10.3390/su16208838

The lasting impact of ancestral energy production operations and global manufacturing has not only generated substantial CO2 emissions, but it has also led to the release of metal-based pollutants into Earth’s water bodies. As we continue to engineer... Read More about Cleaning up metal contamination after decades of energy production and manufacturing: reviewing the value in use of biochars for a sustainable future.
