Synthesis of biochar/clay mineral nanocomposites using oil shale semi-coke waste for removal of organic pollutants
Abstract
Highlights Biochar/clay mineral nanocomposites were prepared by H3PO4 hydrothermal treatment followed by KOH activation using oil shale semi-coke. The nanocomposites exhibited high adsorption capacities to organic pollutants due to electrostatic attraction, π–π stacking and hydrogen bonds. It provided a feasible strategy for full-components resource utilization of oil shale semi-coke.
