Mechanisms of arsenic assimilation by plants and countermeasures to attenuate its accumulation in crops other than rice
TL;DR: This review reports on measures able to reducing plant uptake and the ensuing transfer into edible parts, including a variety of plant-based approaches including breeding, genetic engineering of transport systems, graft/rootstock combinations, and mycorrhization.

Mechanistic insights into the (im)mobilization of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and zinc in a multi-contaminated soil treated with different biochars.
Ali El-Naggar,Scott X. Chang,Yanjiang Cai,Young Han Lee,Jianxu Wang,Shan-Li Wang,Changkook Ryu,Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe,Yong Sik Ok +9 more
TL;DR: The effect and mechanistic evidence of biochar on the (im)mobilization of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in multi-contaminated soils, with respect to the role of surface functional groups and organic/inorganic compounds, are poorly understood.

Biochar efficiency in copper removal from Haplic soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the most effective biochar dose and the most favorable environment pH value were proposed for copper ion removal from Haplic (Luvisol, Podzol) soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox and catalytic properties of biochar-coated zero-valent iron for the removal of nitro explosives and halogenated phenols.
TL;DR: The results suggested that biomass could be used to synthesize a novel sorbent and catalyst for treating redox-sensitive contaminants in natural and engineered systems.

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.
