Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous capture removal of phosphate, ammonium and organic substances by MgO impregnated biochar and its potential use in swine wastewater treatment

Ronghua Li, +9 more
- 20 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an optimized MgO-impregnated porous biochar was prepared using an integrated adsorption-pyrolysis method for absorption of phosphate, ammonium and organic matter (humate).
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil heavy metal contamination and health risks associated with artisanal gold mining in Tongguan, Shaanxi, China

Ran Xiao, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results showed that soils were highly contaminated by residual tailings and previous mining activities, and local residents had high chronic risks due to the intake of Hg and Pb, while their carcinogenic risk associated with Cd through inhalation was low.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient transformations during composting of pig manure with bentonite.

Ronghua Li, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that a proportion of less than 2.5% bentonite is recommended for addition to pig manure compost, and examining the additive ratio in a comprehensive waste composting project is a worthwhile direction for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of carbothermal synthesis of metal–biochar composites for the removal of oxyanion contaminants from aqueous solution

Ronghua Li, +13 more
- 01 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of metal-biochar composites for removing oxyanions from wastewater is presented, and the effects of metal dosing and pyrolysis conditions on the surface chemistry and environmental stability of the composite are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent developments in biochar utilization as an additive in organic solid waste composting: A review.

Ran Xiao, +7 more
- 01 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is evident that biochar addition in composting can improve compost mixture physicochemical properties, enhance microbial activities and promote organic matter decomposition, and upgrade compost quality by increasing the total/available nutrient content, enhancing maturity, and decreasing phytotoxicity.
