Journal ArticleDOI
Can biochar and designer biochar be used to remediate per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) and lead and antimony contaminated soils?
Ludovica Silvani,Gerard Cornelissen,Andreas Botnen Smebye,Yaxin Zhang,Gudny Okkenhaug,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Gorm Thune,Hilmar Sævarsson,Sarah E. Hale +8 more
TL;DR: The need for "designer" biochars using processes such as iron enrichment or activation should be considered depending on the TOC of the soil, the type of contaminants and remediation goals.

Chemically engineered biochar – Effect of concentration and type of modifier on sorption and structural properties of biochar from wood waste
TL;DR: In this article, the main aim of the study was to determine the type and concentration effect of the modifier on surface properties of the biochars, and assessment of optimal modification conditions regarding environmental aspects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic review of laboratory and mesocosm studies of biochar-augmented biofilters and an assessment of watershed-scale implementation of bio-filters on local water quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabricated copper catalyst on biochar nanoparticles for the synthesis of tetrazoles as antimicrobial agents
TL;DR: In this article, a new copper catalyst was supported on its surface (Cu-ABA@biochar) as reusable and environmental biocatalyst, which has been characterized by SEM, EDS, WDX, XRD, TGA, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, FT-IR and AAS techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of biochar as feed supplements for animal farming
TL;DR: The production and application of biochar has become increasingly popular in the past 10 years as mentioned in this paper, and Biochar has similar characteristics to charcoal and activated charcoal: they are all pyrogenic carbon.

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.

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.
