TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of pyrolysis temperature (300-800°C) on composition and surface chemistry of biochar was investigated and the results showed that fixed C, ash and basic cations of BC increased while its moisture, volatiles and elemental composition (O, H, N and S) decreased with increasing pyrolysis temperature.

TL;DR: It could be concluded that using P-loaded biochar as a soil additive may be considered a promising tool to immobilize heavy metals in contaminated mining areas, while positive effects on the biomass growth of plants may assist the stabilization of contaminated areas affected by wind and water erosion.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of sugarcane bagasse biochar in reducing the bioavailability of soil cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) and assessing the impact of biochar application on soil microbial activities and plant growth in metal-contaminated soil.

TL;DR: It was found that H-bonding, electrostatic interactions, van der Waals forces, hydrophobic interactions, H-π bongs, and π-π interactions were the major mechanisms responsible for the adsorption of OMPs onto various kinds of CNTs.

TL;DR: Biochar was produced from date palm tree leaves and its composites were prepared with nano zerovalent iron (nZVI-BC) and hen eggshell powder and exhibited higher nitrate removal efficiency compared to other materials even in the presence of highest concentration of coexisting chloride ion.
