Exploring Biochar: Material Engineering Applications in Healthcare

This report delves into the application of biochar within healthcare settings, focusing on its design, manufacturing, and material engineering aspects. Biochar, a nano-structure, is explored for its potential in improving water quality and overall patient well-being. The report discusses the production of biochar through pyrolysis, highlighting the generation of bio-oils and gases, and addresses concerns regarding toxic components like polyaromatic hydrocarbons and dioxins. It compares biochar's performance against existing systems in healthcare, particularly in wastewater treatment, noting its effectiveness in removing pharmaceuticals like DF and LVX. The study also examines the enhanced adsorption capabilities of BC/MnO2 composites for removing Tetracycline hydrochloride and doxycycline, concluding that biochar supported manganese dioxide nanoparticles offer significant potential for environmental remediation and healthcare improvements.
