Abstract

Anwarul Islam investigated a sustainable solution to remove silver ions and silver nanoparticles from wastewater. He found that biochar derived from biomass waste is a good adsorbent for silver species which are toxic to human health and the ecosystem. Using biomass waste to mitigate silver pollution is also a potential approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
