Release dynamics of As, Co, and Mo in a biochar treated soil under pre-definite redox conditions.

TL;DR: The impact of pre-definite redox potential (EH) on the release dynamics and distribution of As, Co, and Mo as well as their potential mobility and phytoavailability in the sediment phase of a mining soil treated with rice hull biochar is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-step pyrolysis of lignin and polyvinyl chloride for synthesis of porous carbon and its application for toluene sorption.

TL;DR: The aim of this work aims to synthesize the high performance porous carbons from lignin and rice husk via one-step pyrolysis with KOH and PVC with significantly improved SBET of bio-carbon and toluene sorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential role of compost mixed biochar with rhizobacteria in mitigating lead toxicity in spinach.

TL;DR: CB’+ Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has the potential to mitigate the Pb induced toxicity in the spinach and can be further used in the planning and execution of rhizobacteria and compost mixed biochar-based soil amendment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of carbonization methods on the properties of tea waste biochars and their application in tetracycline removal from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: KHBC has the potential to act as sorbents for TC removal from aquatic environment because all adsorption processes can be well fitted by Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of biochar on aerobic processes, enzyme activity, and crop yields in two sandy loam soils

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of wood-based biochar on soil respiration, water contents, potential ammonia oxidation (PAO), arylsulfatase activity (ASA), and crop yields at two temperate sandy loam soils under realistic field conditions were investigated.

Biochar effects on soil biota – A review

TL;DR: A review of the literature reveals a significant number of early studies on biochar-type materials as soil amendments either for managing pathogens, as inoculant carriers or for manipulative experiments to sorb signaling compounds or toxins as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some aspects of the surface chemistry of carbon blacks and other carbons

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the surface chemistry of carbon blacks and other activated carbons is given, focusing on surface oxides with emphasis on the chemical methods used in the assessment and identification of surface functional groups.

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.
