Applications of biomass-derived materials for energy production, conversion, and storage
Abhishek Kumar,Tanushree Bhattacharya,S. M. Mozammil Hasnain,Amit Kumar Nayak,Saqucib Hasnain +4 more
TL;DR: The thermal treatment of biomass, via methods such as gasification and pyrolysis, yields biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, which are excellent sources of clean energy.

Adsorption of Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) onto metal oxides modified biochar
Masud Hassan,Masud Hassan,Yanju Liu,Yanju Liu,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu,Jianhua Du,Jianhua Du,Fangjie Qi,Fangjie Qi +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, red mud modified sawdust and unmodified sawdust (SDN600) were prepared for sorption of PFOS from aqueous solution, and the presence of magnetites (Fe3O4), ferrihydrites, and desilicated minerals were identified in the RMSDN600 using XRD (X-ray diffraction) and XANES (x-ray absorption near-edge structure).

Assessment of nickel bioavailability through chemical extractants and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) in an amended soil: Related changes in various parameters of red clover.
TL;DR: Combined application of ZE and BC can significantly reduce the Ni bioavailability in the soil while in parallel improve the antioxidant defence mechanism in plants.

Effect of biochars pyrolyzed in N2 and CO2, and feedstock on microbial community in metal(loid)s contaminated soils.
Avanthi Deshani Igalavithana,Kyoung-Ho Kim,Jong-Min Jung,Hye Sook Heo,Eilhann E. Kwon,Filip Tack,Daniel C.W. Tsang,Young Jae Jeon,Yong Sik Ok +8 more
TL;DR: The bacterial community structures at the phylum and genus levels showed that amendment addition might restore the normal bacterial community of soils, and cause soil bacterial communities in contaminated soils to normalize and stabilize.

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.
