Enhanced As(III) removal from aqueous solution by Fe-Mn-La-impregnated biochar composites.
TL;DR: The simple preparation process and high adsorption performance suggest that the FMLBC could be served as a promising adsorbent for As (III) removal from aqueous solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opportunities and challenges in the use of mineral nutrition for minimizing arsenic toxicity and accumulation in rice: A critical review
TL;DR: This papers critically appraises the methods, forms and rate of application, mechanisms and extent of efficiency of different mineral nutrients in decreasing As accumulation in rice grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Input constraints to food production: the impact of soil degradation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the latest research on selected soil degradation processes (soil erosion by water, compaction, loss of organic matter, organic matter loss of soil biodiversity and soil contamination) and specifically how they impact on food production.

Biochar produced from biosolids using a single-mode microwave: Characterisation and its potential for phosphorus removal.
Elsa Antunes,James Schumann,Graham Brodie,Mohan V. Jacob,Philip A. Schneider,Philip A. Schneider +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pyrolysis temperature affects biochar specific surface area, ash and volatiles content, but does not impact heavily on the pH, chemical composition and crystalline phases of the resultant biochar.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
