Enhancing Cd(II) adsorption on rice straw biochar by modification of iron and manganese oxides.
TL;DR: In this paper , an iron-manganese (Fe-Mn) oxide-modified biochar (BC-FM) was synthesized using rice straw biochar, and the adsorption process, removal effect and the mechanism of cadmium (Cd) adaption on BC-FM in wastewater treatment were explored through batch tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
High adsorption performance for As(III) and As(V) onto novel aluminum-enriched biochar derived from abandoned Tetra Paks.
TL;DR: The slow pyrolysis of abandoned Tetra Paks as low-cost and value-added sorbents is a sustainable strategy for solid waste disposal and wastewater treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospect of China's renewable energy development from pyrolysis and biochar applications under climate change
Chih-Chun Kung,Jianhong E. Mu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the economic and environmental consequences of pyrolysis and biochar applications through the investigation of a lifecycle assessment and illustrated the potential climate-induced impacts on agriculture and stability of feedstock supply.

Dynamic variations in dissolved organic matter and the precursors of disinfection by-products leached from biochars: Leaching experiments simulating intermittent rain events.
Mi Hee Lee,Yong Sik Ok,Jin Hur +2 more
TL;DR: In insight into dynamic leaching behaviors of DOM from BCs and the formation potentials for THMs and HAAs in BC-amended fields under intermittent rainfall, condensed aromatic structures could operate as a surrogate forTHMs formation of BC-derived DOM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous adsorption of methyl red and methylene blue onto biochar and an equilibrium modeling at high concentration.
TL;DR: According to the experimental results, interaction among dyes molecules would replace the competition onto adsorbent to be the main factor influencing adsorption when amount of adsorbed adsorbates were higher than those required to form a monolayer on all the adsorbing sites of adsorbents.

Biochar effects on soil biota – A review
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.

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.
