Wood-based biochar for the removal of potentially toxic elements in water and wastewater: a critical review
Sabry M. Shaheen,Sabry M. Shaheen,Nabeel Khan Niazi,Nabeel Khan Niazi,Noha E.E. Hassan,Irshad Bibi,Irshad Bibi,Hailong Wang,Daniel C.W. Tsang,Yong Sik Ok,Nanthi Bolan,Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential use of wood-based biochar (WB) for the removal of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from water and wastewater has been discussed, and a review demonstrates the overarching scientific opportunities for a comprehensive understanding of using WB as an emerging biosorbent and a promising low-cost and effective material for the remediation of contaminated water.

Effects of biochar application in forest ecosystems on soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions: a review
Yongfu Li,Shuaidong Hu,Junhui Chen,Karin Müller,Yongchun Li,Weijun Fu,Ziwen Lin,Hailong Wang,Hailong Wang +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the available literature on the effects of biochar on soil properties and GHG emissions in forest soils is presented, where the authors focus on the negative impacts of intensive forest management and global climate change on the quality of forest soils via soil acidification, reduction of soil organic carbon content, deterioration of soil biological properties, and reduction of the soil biodiversity.

Controlled microwave heating in modern organic synthesis.
TL;DR: This Review highlights recent applications of controlled microwave heating in modern organic synthesis, and discusses some of the underlying phenomena and issues involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic molecular structure of plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar)
TL;DR: A molecular-level assessment of the physical organization and chemical complexity of biomass-derived chars and, specifically, that of aromatic carbon in char structures suggests the existence of four distinct categories of char consisting of a unique mixture of chemical phases and physical states.

Comparison of arsenic(V) and arsenic(III) sorption onto iron oxide minerals: implications for arsenic mobility.
Suvasis Dixit,Janet G. Hering +1 more
TL;DR: The sorption data indicate that, under most of the chemical conditions investigated in this study, reduction of As(V) in the presence of HFO or goethite would have only minor effects on or even decrease its mobility in the environment at near-neutral pH conditions.
