Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar production, activation and adsorptive applications: a review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the thermochemical valorization of waste biomass by pyrolysis, gasification, torrefaction and carbonization to produce biochar with promising and environmental applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenous minerals have influences on surface electrochemistry and ion exchange properties of biochar.
TL;DR: Results indicated that biochar surface charges depend not only on the organic functional groups, but also on the minerals present and to some extent, minerals have more influences on the surface electrochemistry and ion exchange properties of biochar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of pyrolysis temperature on phosphate adsorption characteristics and mechanisms of crawfish char.
TL;DR: CFC derived at pyrolysis temperatures above 400 °C is effective for waste reduction and phosphate treatment in wastewater, and the adsorption of phosphate by CFC is dominantly affected by pH.

Role of biochar and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria to enhance soil carbon sequestration—a review
Rubab Sarfraz,Azhar Hussain,Asma Sabir,Ibtissem Ben Fekih,Allah Ditta,Allah Ditta,Shihe Xing +6 more
TL;DR: A critical review of the literature indicates that biochar and plant growth–promoting microbes have the potential to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and it could be a better strategy to sustain natural resources and ultimately mitigation of the climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of woody biomass and biochar for alleviating heavy metal bioavailability in serpentine soil
Tharanga Bandara,Indika Herath,Prasanna Kumarathilaka,Zeng-Yei Hseu,Yong Sik Ok,Meththika Vithanage +5 more
TL;DR: Improvements in plant growth in biochar-amended soil were related to decreasing in metal toxicity as a consequence of metal immobilization through strong sorption due to high surface area and functional groups.

Biochar effects on soil biota – A review
Johannes Lehmann,Matthias C. Rillig,Janice E. Thies,Caroline A. Masiello,William C. Hockaday,David E. Crowley +5 more
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.
