Biochar filtration of drug-resistant bacteria and active pharmaceutical ingredients to combat antimicrobial resistance by Paul-Enguerrand Fady, Alexandra K. Richardson, Leon P. Barron, A. James Mason, Roberto Volpe, Meredith R. Barr

“…Through pyrolysis, waste LCB can be converted into biochars, which have excellent attributes for adsorption of pollutants–though no studies have yet reliably correlated production conditions with efficacy, nor considered adsorption of human pathogens. By leveraging a bespoke pyrolysis reactor with precisely controlled parameters, we show that production conditions substantially affect sequestration of clinical bacterial isolates, removing up to 94% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa RP73 and 85% of Staphylococcus aureus EMRSA-15. …”
