Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable biochar to mitigate global climate change
TL;DR: The maximum sustainable technical potential of biochar to mitigate climate change is estimated, which shows that it has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation into the reactions of biochar in soil
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

TL;DR: Two widely studied nano-Fe0 preparations are characterized: one synthesized by reduction of goethite with heat and H2 and the other by reductive precipitation with borohydride, which exhibit corrosion potentials that are more negative than nano-sized Fe2O3, Fe3O4, micro-sizedFe0, or a solid Fe0 disk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the pyrolysis platform for coproducing bio-oil and biochar
TL;DR: The pyrolysis platform for producing bio-oil and biochar from biomass appears to be a practical, effective, and en- vironmentally sustainable means of producing large quantities of renewable bioenergy while simultaneously reducing emissions of greenhouse gases as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms controlling soil carbon turnover and their potential application for enhancing carbon sequestration
TL;DR: In this article, two major mechanisms, (bio)chemical alteration and physicochemical protection, stabilize soil organic C (SOC) and thereby control its turnover and residence time in soils.
