Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the Total and Bioavailable Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Dioxins in Biochars
Sarah E. Hale,Johannes Lehmann,David W. Rutherford,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Robert Thomas Bachmann,Victor Shitumbanuma,Adam O'Toole,Kristina L. Sundqvist,Hans Peter H. Arp,Gerard Cornelissen,Gerard Cornelissen +10 more
TL;DR: No clear pattern of how strongly PAHs were bound to differentBiochars was found based on the biochars' physicochemical properties, and total concentrations were below existing environmental quality standards for concentrations of PAhs in soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental fate of roxarsone in poultry litter. I. Degradation of roxarsone during composting.
TL;DR: Investigations conducted to determine the fate of poultry-litter roxarsone in the environment suggested that the degradation process most likely was biotic in nature, and results from enterobacteriaceae growth media that were inoculated with litter slurry supported that.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sorption of selected organic compounds from water to a peat soil and its humic-acid and humin fractions: potential sources of the sorption nonlinearity.
TL;DR: In this article, the sorption isotherms of ethylene dibromide (EDB), diuron (DUN), and 3,5-dichlorophenol (DCP) from water on the humic acid and humin fractions of a peat soil and on humic-acid of a muck soil have been measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of soil organic matter composition on the partition of organic compounds
TL;DR: In this paper, the sorption at room temperature of benzene and carbon tetrachloride from water on three high-organic-content soils (muck, peat, and extracted peat) and on cellulose was determined in order to evaluate the effect of sorbent polarity on the solute partition coefficients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar Effect on Maize Yield and Soil Characteristics in Five Conservation Farming Sites in Zambia
Gerard Cornelissen,Vegard Martinsen,Victor Shitumbanuma,Vanja Alling,Gijs D. Breedveld,David W. Rutherford,Magnus Sparrevik,Sarah E. Hale,Alfred Obia,Jan Mulder +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of a low dosage biochar combined with conservation farming (CF) minimum tillage was tested as a way to increase crop yields, where 10%-12% of the land was tilled.
