What is it about?
The work concerns the preparation of magnetosensitive biochars by mechanochemical grinding of lignin and furnace dust and their pyrolysis at 800 °C. These materials were thoroughly characterized in terms of physicochemical properties, porous structure, and sorption capacity, especially in the context of removing organic pollutants from water, such as methylene dye. The studies showed effective conversion of waste materials into functional carbons with potential use in water purification.

Why is it important?
This work is important because it presents an innovative method for processing waste materials such as lignin and furnace dust into functional biochars that can be used in water purification. The effectiveness of these materials in adsorption of organic pollutants has been demonstrated, which is of great importance for environmental protection and sustainable development. In addition, this research can contribute to the development of waste processing technologies and the creation of high-value-added materials.
Perspectives
The prospects related to this work include further research on the optimization of the preparation process of magnetosensitive bio-carbons, which can increase their efficiency in various applications of water and environmental purification. The possibility of using these materials in other fields, such as energy storage or catalysis, is also promising. Further work may focus on the development of scalable production methods and on commercial applications in the recycling and environmental protection industries.
