TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical and physical properties of 20 biochars produced at 350, 450, 550 and 650 °C were investigated to determine the key roles they play in the sorption and desorption of three potentially toxic elements (Pb, Cd, As).

TL;DR: RB and MB stimulate methanogenesis by facilitating direct interspecies electron transfer between methanogens and Geobacteraceae, and Quantitative polymerase chain reaction results demonstrated that electronic syntrophy did exist between meethanogenic and anaerobic bacteria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the increasing research on the use of biochar in soil for the remediation of some organic and inorganic contaminants, and suggested a soil treatment plan based on the reviewed literature, which is suggested to guide the application of Biochar in various soil types (paddy soils, brownfield, and mine soils) at different pH levels (4-5.5) and contaminant concentrations (50 ǫmg  kg−1).

TL;DR: In this paper, the efficiency of silicon-modified biochar in reducing the uptake of As(III) in spinach (Spinacia oleracean) while simultaneously increasing the plant biomass was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possibility of using unmodified biochar derived from rice husk (RB) and aspen wood (WB) at 400°C and 700°C to enhance the precipitation of calcium/arsenic compounds for the removal of As(III) from solution.
