Biochar (BC), a low-cost, porous and carbon-rich material, exhibits excellent potential as an adsorbent in the immobilization and removal of environmental contaminants from water and soil. To enhance the surface area, functionalities and adsorption efficiency of BC, various clay and clay mineral-based physical and chemical modification methods have been adopted. Although extensive studies have been conducted to evaluate the removal efficiencies of BC-clays and clay minerals composites, insight into synthesis, characteristics, and mechanistic understanding between adsorbents and contaminants in environmental remediation has not been fully developed. Therefore, this review focuses on production methods of BC composites with different clays and clay minerals, their surface interactions, physicochemical characteristics, and specifically various adsorption mechanisms involved in the removal process of in-/organic contaminants, and explains how the sorption capacity of the BC-clay/mineral composites is altered. Environmental applications of various BC-clay/mineral composites and factors affecting the surface chemical reactions and interactions of BC-clay/mineral composites are also provided comprehensively. Moreover, this article discusses the increasing interest of BC-clay/mineral composites in enhancing the adsorption efficiency of different contaminants through various mechanisms. The combined effects of BC-clay/mineral composites for the adsorption of in-/organic contaminants both in soil and water are critically reviewed. Future challenges and prospects regarding the use of BC-clay/mineral composites in environmental remediation and achieving commercialization of this promising technology are also considered.

Fabrication of Highly Catalytically Active Gold Nanostructures on Filter-Paper and Their Applications towards Degradation of Environmental Pollutants
Khan, Ghazanfar Ali; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren; Bek, Alpan; Bhatti, Arshad Saleem; Ahmed, Waqqar (2021-10-01)
Supported metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have recently become a promising candidate for the degradation of environmental pollutants. In this work, we report the fabrication of highly catalytically active, surfactant-free interconnected Au nanostructures directly on filter paper. The width of nanostructures is only a few nanometers and they contain high concentration of low-coordination atoms. Our approach involves the immersion and evaporation of Au precursor solution on the filter paper and its subsequent re...
Ambient VOC concentrations in the city of Balikesir and its environment
Yalçın, Giyasettin Efdal; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2013)
The assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become an important field of interest in atmospheric pollution. This study quantifies and characterizes the ambient levels and spatial distribution of VOCs in urban and rural areas of Balıkesir. In addition, for the city drinking water dam excess flux from the traffic estimation was done. For these assessments passive sampling of VOCs performed at approximately 50 locations in and around the city of Balıkesir and analyzed with GC-FID system. Tenax TA w...
Geotechnical evaluation of Ankara clay as a compacted clay liner
Met, Ilker; Akgün, Haluk (2015-08-01)
This study investigates the geotechnical properties, and mineralogical and permeability characteristics of "Ankara clay" to evaluate its suitability as a compacted clay landfill liner material. The geotechnical index properties of the clayey soil samples collected from the western part of Ankara were determined. All the soil samples were tested for permeability by means of falling head compaction permeameter apparatus. The mineralogy of the soil samples were examined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electr...
Synthesis and enzymatic resolution of various cyclopentenoid and cyclohexenoid type compounds
İyigün, Çiğdem; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2005)
The aim of this thesis is to synthesize enantiomerically enriched cyclopentenoid and cyclohexenoid type of compounds with quaternary carbon stereocenters that are the simplest precursors of the complex natural products. The first part of the study involves the preparation of ?'-acetoxy ?'-substituted ?,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones. Methylation, ethylation, benzylation and allylation of cyclohexenone and cyclopentenone derivatives are performed. Then, these compounds are regioselectively oxidized at the ?'-p...
Formation of nitrogen functionalities in biochar materials and their role in the mitigation of hazardous emerging organic pollutants from wastewater
Başer, Begüm; Yousaf, Balal; Yetiş, Ülkü; Abbas, Qumber; Kwon, Eilhann E.; Wang, Shengsen; Bolan, Nanthi S.; Rinklebe, Jörg (2021-08-15)
Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) are serious environmental concerns known for their prominent adverse and hazardous ecological effects, and persistence in nature. Their detrimental impacts have inspired researchers to develop the strategic tools that reduce and overcome the challenges caused by EOPs' rising concentration. As such, biochar becomes as a promising class of biomass-derived functional materials that can be used as low-cost and environmentally-friendly emerging catalysts to remove EOPs. Herein,...
