Development of Biochar-Based Functional Materials: Toward a Sustainable Platform Carbon Material

The controversy related to the environment pollution is increasing in human life and in the eco-system. Especially, the water pollution is growing rapidly due to the wastewater discharge from the industries. The only way to find the new water resource is the reuse of treated wastewater. Several remediation technologies are available which provides a convenience to reuse the reclaimed wastewater. Heavy metals like Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, Hg, etc. contributes various environmental problems based on their toxicity. These toxic metals are exposed to human and environment, the accumulation of ions takes place which causes serious health and environmental hazards. Hence, it is a major concern in the environment. Due to this concern, the significance of developing technology for removing heavy metals has been increased. This paper contributes the outline of new literature with two objectives. First, it provides the sketch about treatment technologies followed by their heavy metal capture capacity from industrial effluent. The treatment performance, their remediation capacity and probable environmental and health impacts were deliberated in this review article. Conclusively, this review paper furnishes the information about the important methods incorporated in lab scale studies which are required to identify the feasible and convenient wastewater treatment. Moreover, attempts have been made to confer the emphasis on sequestration of heavy metals from industrial effluent and establish the scientific background for reducing the discharge of heavy metals into the environment.

The germplasm comprising of 442 wheat varieties/lines was sown in one meter long row in a plastic sheet tunnel to screen the material for heat tolerance during 2004-05 and 2005-06 at Wheat Research Institute, Faisalabad. A set of the material was sown in the open adjacent to the tunnel. The material was exposed to heat shock (>32 0 C) by covering the tunnel with plastic sheet during grain formation for two weeks in 2004-05 and for four weeks in 200506. Data was recorded from 25 randomly selected heads from each row for 1000 grain weight, grains per spike and yield per spike during both the years. The data regarding survival (ability to stay green under heat stress) was also recorded. Heat effect was expressed as ratio of stressed / non stressed plants. The effects of heat stress were lesser in shorter period exposure and more drastic in prolonged exposure of the genotypes to heat. The ability of lines to stay green for longer period in heat shock had no direct relationship with seed setting. Three entries CB-367 (BB#2/ PT// CC/ INIA /3/ ALD’S’) CB-333 (WL 711/3/KAL/BB//ALD ‘S’) and CB-335 (WL711/CROW ‘S’//ALD#1/CMH 77A. 917/3/HI 666/PVN ‘S’ ) showed maximum grain development and survival. This study revealed that these genotypes can be utilized in breeding programs for development of wheat varieties having heat tolerance at terminal growth stage.
