Structural Elucidation of Magnetic Biochar Derived from Recycled Paper Waste Sludge

Partially treated wastewater released into natural water bodies leads to eutrophication which poses a threat to aquatic animals and water supply security. The recovery of nutrients from wastewater, and their subsequent recycling in other agricultural applications contribute to nutrient recycling and...
