Matteo Francavilla,Matteo Francavilla,P. Kamaterou,S. Intini,S. Intini,Massimo Monteleone,Anastasia Zabaniotou,Anastasia Zabaniotou +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the solid residue of microalga D. tertiolecta was evaluated and its potential use as biofuel or sorbent for soil remediation was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of biochar on the earthworm (Eisenia foetida) in soil contaminated with and/or without pesticide mesotrione.
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is necessary to investigate the effects of different levels of biochar amendments on earthworms and other soil organisms in agricultural fields to develop a broader understanding about the use of biochars and its consequences on soil health.

Adsorption characteristics of ammonium ion onto hydrous biochars in dilute aqueous solutions
Ruemei Fan,Ching-Lung Chen,Jui Yen Lin,Jing-Hua Tzeng,Ch-Hpin Huang,Cheng-Di Dong,Chin-Pao Huang +6 more
TL;DR: P pH played the most important role in ammonium adsorption and FTIR results showed shift, disappearance, or appearance of specific functional groups on the bamboo biochar surface, which leads to the in-situ synthesis of slow-release fertilizer.

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.
