Treatment of methylene blue containing wastewater by a cost-effective micro-scale biochar/polysulfone mixed matrix hollow fiber membrane: Performance and mechanism studies.
TL;DR: The MMM showed an excellent reusability for methylene blue removal; it was able to achieve 81% of the permeate yield of the fresh MMM after three regeneration cycles, and the adsorption mechanism studies indicated that the removal of methyleneblue was associated with electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction.

Dynamic molecular structure of plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar)
TL;DR: A molecular-level assessment of the physical organization and chemical complexity of biomass-derived chars and, specifically, that of aromatic carbon in char structures suggests the existence of four distinct categories of char consisting of a unique mixture of chemical phases and physical states.
