Abstract

The microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) is a promising technology for converting waste feedstocks (AWB and PW) into valuable products, primarily biochar. The residual product generated from the AWB and PW MAP process is called hybrid biochar. The hybrid biochar made by MP is highly stable, has distinctive physical and chemical characteristics, and outperforms its conventional usage. Microwave heating is an efficient and fast energy heating method. It helps with yield production, eliminates the need for liquid convection, makes thermal control easier, restores waste products' chemical and energy value, and produces the highest quality and most cost-effective hybrid biochar. Different feedstocks and microwave pyrolysis settings affect how well hybrid biochar restores the environment. This article examines hybrid biochar's potential to boost agricultural productivity, nutrient availability, co-composting, water retention, and consumption efficiency. The report also reveals knowledge gaps and suggests further research to better understand hybrid biochar deployment. The study also detailed hybrid biochar's production, characterization and, most importantly, environmental use.

Abstract

This work integrates bibliometric analysis with laboratory experiments to develop nanotechnology-based water treatment technologies, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on providing clean water and sanitation. A high-adsorption nanomaterial composed of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) doped with vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) was prepared using thermal doping and analyzed using XRD, FESEM, and FTIR techniques. This composite demonstrated the ability to remove 68.98% of methyl orange dye in just 30 minutes. Kinetic and adsorption studies showed conformed to a quasi-second-order kinetic model and a Langmuir single-layer adsorption model, indicating strong chemisorption and surface homogeneity. This high performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between V₂O₅ and rGO in contributing high surface area, improving electron transport, and enhancing effective sites for capturing dye molecules. This nanocomposite is a sustainable and economical option for supporting the smart architecture of urban water systems, contributing to SDGs.
