Neutralization of red mud using bio-acid generated by hydrothermal carbonization of waste biomass for potential soil application

TL;DR: In this article, a novel process employing natural biomass without addition of chemicals was proposed for remediation of red mud Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of local fallen leaves was conducted to obtain solution containing bio-acids (SBA) and hydrochar.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immobilization of heavy metals in contaminated soil after mining activity by using biochar and other industrial by-products: the significant role of minerals on the biochar surfaces.

TL;DR: It was found that biochar at 5% (BC5) and the mixture of biochar and apatite at 3% resulted in the greatest reduction of exchangeable forms of Cd, Pb and Zn, which was a major environmental issue for both farmers and the population as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slow pyrolyzed biochars from crop residues for soil metal(loid) immobilization and microbial community abundance in contaminated agricultural soils.

TL;DR: No considerable effects of biochars on the microbial community abundance and dehydrogenase activity were found in both soils, however, the silicon content in biochar is also an influencing factor in increasing the As mobility.

A Bio-Functions Integration Microcosm: Self-immobilized Biochar-Pellets Combined With Two Strains of Bacteria to Remove Atrazine in Water and Mechanisms

TL;DR: The kinetic adsorption results showed that the biosorption of biochar by pellets followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the ATZ removal ability and reusability of SIB were significantly increased by biochar.

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.

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.
