Arun K. Singh, Abhishek Kumar Chaubey, Inderpreet Kaur
Abstract
The composites based on layered double hydroxides and waste resources derived biochar (LDHs-biochar) have attracted a signficant interest for the removal of antibiotics from aqueous media. The major reason behind this application is the excellent adsorption performance along with the catalytic degrdation ability of LDHs-biochar. This review summarized the basic concept and stratigies for the preparation of LDHs-biochar along with the mechanisms behind their application for removal of antibiotics from contaminated water. Various environmental conditions, including pH, temperature, concentrations are discussed herein. Newly emerging approcahes based on LDHs-biochar along with major hurdels and challenges associated with the process for removal of antibiotics are emphasized. This review will be useful for the new reaserch findings and development of LDHs-biochar based systems for large-scale water remediation application.
