Effects of Biochar Application on CO2 Emissions from a Cultivated Soil under Semiarid Climate Conditions in Northwest China
TL;DR: In this paper, the short and medium-term effects of biochar application on CO2 emissions from semiarid farmland were investigated, and the results suggested that biochar amendment was a preferable management practice to help maintain or increase carbon sequestration for this region with lower CO 2 emissions and higher dry matter production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of soil biochar concentration on the mitigation of emerging organic contaminant uptake in lettuce
TL;DR: After 28 days of irrigation with water containing EOCs at 15μgL-1, the average EOC concentration in roots and leaves decreased by 20-76% in biochar amended soil relative to non BC-amended soil, suggesting that the IBU sorbed fraction in BC is more recalcitrant to its biodegradation.

Ciprofloxacin and acetaminophen sorption onto banana peel biochars: Environmental and process parameter influences.
TL;DR: In this article, a series of sustainable banana peel biochars were used as model pharmaceuticals for removal owing to their worldwide presence in aquatic systems, and physicochemical, morphological, mineralogical and elemental analyses were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave-induced cracking and CO2 reforming of toluene on biomass derived char
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of char from biomass microwave pyrolysis at 800°C for tar removal, using toluene as the model compound, was investigated, and the results indicated that microwave heating had a promoting effect on toluenes conversion.

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.
