Adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol on paper sludge/wheat husk biochar: Process optimization and comparison with biochars prepared from wood chips, sewage sludge and hog fuel/demolition waste

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol, a toxic byproduct of triclosan commonly found in wastewater treatment plant effluents, was studied on paper sludge/wheat husks biochar.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of activation conditions on the physicochemical properties of activated biochar: a review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically summarized the preparation of activated biochar, characterisation, and analytical techniques of activated Biochar based on more than 150 literatures published in the last 10 years.

Impact of various amendments on immobilization and phytoavailability of nickel and zinc in a contaminated floodplain soil

TL;DR: In this article, a greenhouse pot experiment was established with a contaminated agricultural floodplain soil and the soil was treated with activated carbon (AC), bentonite (BE), biochar (BI), cement bypass kiln dust (CBD), chitosan (CH), coal fly ash (FA), limestone (LS), nano-hydroxyapatite (HA), organo-clay (OC), sugar beet factory lime (SBFL), and zeolite (Z) with an application rate of 1% (0.2% for HA) and cultivated by rapeseed
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyrolytic temperature dependent conversion of sewage sludge to carbon catalyst and their performance in persulfate degradation of 2-Naphthol

TL;DR: In this article, the role of temperature and ash components on the interactions between surface groups conversion and crystalline structure evolution was investigated by using XPS, Boehm titration, XRD and TPR characterization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sorption mechanisms of lead on silicon-rich biochar in aqueous solution: Spectroscopic investigation.

TL;DR: CFB500 was a promising material for the remediation of Pb-contaminated aqueous environments (e.g., wastewater) and the contribution of binding sites for Pb2+ sorption was ascribed to the outer-wall of carbon skeleton of CFB500, which was stronger than that provided by the mineral oxide aggregate and phytoliths.

Ameliorating physical and chemical properties of highly weathered soils in the tropics with charcoal – a review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the available information about the physical and chemical properties of charcoal as affected by different combustion procedures, and the effects of its application in agricultural fields on nutrient retention and crop production.
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.
