Thallium (Tl), recognized for its high toxicity, is subject to stringent international regulations regarding its permissible concentrations at ultra-trace levels. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) was integrated with potassium (K)-rich biochar to create TiO2/biochar (TiO2/BC) composites for syn...
