Stephen Joseph,Marta Camps-Arbestain,Yun Lin,Paul Munroe,C. H. Chia,James M. Hook,L. Van Zwieten,Stephen Kimber,Annette Cowie,Bhupinder Pal Singh,Johannes Lehmann,N. Foidl,Ronald J. Smernik,James E. Amonette +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review describes the properties of biochar and suggests possible reactions that may occur after the addition of biochars to soil, including dissolution-precipitation, adsorption-desorption, acid-base, and redox reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifting paradigms: development of high-efficiency biochar fertilizers based on nano-structures and soluble components
Stephen Joseph,Ellen R. Graber,Lianqing Li,Paul Taylor,Aditya Rawal,James M. Hook,C. H. Chia,Paul Munroe,Scott W. Donne,Torsten Thomas,Shaun Nielsen,Christopher E. Marjo,Helen Rutlidge,Genxing Pan +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide suggestions for developing low-dose, high-efficiency biochar-nanoparticle composites, as well as initial field trial results and detailed characterization of such a biochar fertilizer composite, to highlight the potential of such biochars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging of mineral-enriched biochar by FTIR, Raman and SEM-EDX
TL;DR: In this article, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy were used to detect millimetre-scale organic phases in Acacia saligna biochar particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineral-Biochar Composites: Molecular Structure and Porosity.
Aditya Rawal,Stephen Joseph,James M. Hook,C. H. Chia,Paul Munroe,Scott W. Donne,Yun Lin,David Phelan,David R. G. Mitchell,Ben Pace,Joseph Horvat,J. Beau W. Webber,J. Beau W. Webber +12 more
TL;DR: Quantitative (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy shows that the presence of the iron clay prevents degradation of the cellulosic fraction at pyrolysis temperatures of 250 °C, whereas at higher temperatures, the clay promotes biomass degradation, resulting in an increase in both the concentrations of condensed aromatic, acidic, and phenolic carbon species.
Book ChapterDOI
Characteristics of biochar: physical and structural properties
TL;DR: Chia et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the physical and structural properties of biochar derived from known feedstocks under controlled process parameters, particularly the relationship between feedstock structure, processing conditions and biochar structure.
