Article Hybrid Heroes of Water Treatment: the Rise of Biochar-Modified Metal Organic Frameworks(Elsevier Science Sa, 2026) Gungormus, Elif; Goren, A. Yagmur; Khataee, AlirezaBiochar-metal organic framework (BC-MOF) composites are highly promising for water treatment due to their synergistic properties. In this regard, this review paper highlights their outstanding performance in removing various pollutants from water. The applications of these composites cover various environmental remediation processes, such as adsorption, photocatalysis, persulfate activation, and Fenton-like degradation. BC-MOF composites have demonstrated high performance in environmental applications, achieving pollutant removal efficiencies exceeding 90 % through adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. Moreover, degradation processes through advanced oxidation pathways, which produce active radicals, such as hydroxyl and superoxide radical-mediated breakdowns, significantly enhance the mineralization of organic pollutants. Many composites also retained >80 % of their initial capacity after 4-6 cycles, indicating good reusability. Overall, BC-MOF composites present a sustainable, high-performance solution for contaminant removal, with broad applicability against antibiotics, dyes, heavy metals, pesticides, and fluoride ions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Phosphate Recovery From Digestate Using Magnesium-Modified Fungal Biochar(Springer, 2024) Surmeli, Recep Onder; Madenli, Ozgecan; Bayrakdar, Alper; Deveci, Ece Ummu; Calli, BarisMg-rich biochars have been used for the removal and recovery of phosphate (PO43-) and ammonium (NH4+) from waste streams. In this study, a novel magnesium-modified biochar (Mg-FBC) was synthesized by immobilizing waste magnesite dust (WMD) into Aspergillus niger fungal biomass for the adsorption of PO(4)(3- )and NH4+. Pyrolysis at various temperatures and analysis using techniques such as SEM-EDS, TGA, XRD, FTIR, and BET revealed that biochar produced at 650 degrees C (Mg-FBC650) exhibited enhanced surface properties favorable for effective adsorption. This improvement is attributed to the increased surface area facilitated by the hyphal structure of A. Niger and the effective dispersion of MgO on its surface. In experiments using a synthetic phosphate solution, the adsorption capacity reached 595 mg PO43-/g BC, fitting the Langmuir model at pH 9. In addition, experiments with the liquid fraction of a real digestate (LFD) showed adsorption capacities of 502 mg PO43-/g BC and 150 mg NH4+/g BC, respectively. The adsorption mechanism was elucidated through SEM-EDS, XRD, and FTIR analyses confirming that Mg-FBC650 facilitates a multifaceted adsorption mechanism, including adsorption, electrostatic attraction, chemical precipitation, and surface complexation. Consequently, PO43- was the primary adsorbate in the synthetic solution, while both PO43- and NH4+ were effectively removed from the LFD, indicating that Mg-FBC650 has substantial potential as an efficient adsorbent for nutrient removal. As a result, Mg-FBC650 is believed to hold significant potential as a slow-release and readily transferable bio-fertilizer, particularly suitable for application in soils deficient in organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
