Happy Eco News: Biochar Water Purification Destroys Toxins without Chemicals, Study Finds

Biochar water purification works more powerfully than scientists realized, with new research showing the material actively destroys pollutants rather than simply trapping them. Biochar water purification has long been understood as a filtration process. Researchers at Dalian University of Technology in China, discovered something different. The charcoal-like material breaks down contaminants through direct electron transfer, accounting for up to 40% of its cleaning power. More SCIENCE.
