Abstract
Biochar is a carbonaceous material produced by biomass pyrolysis, applied in different areas as: adsorbent, fuel, soil amendment, etc. Many types of biochar are often characterized by insufficient textural parameters (low porosity and specific surface area) or poor surface chemistry and thus low adsorption capacity, and this can be improved by modification. The innovative, chemical methodologies have been developed for biochars to enhance their ability to remove organic and inorganic impurities from aqueous environments. In this paper we described and explain how chemical (organic or inorganic) modifications alter the physicochemical properties and adsorption capacity of biochars.
