Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of acid modification on the structure and adsorption NH4+-N properties of biochar
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of acid modifier on physicochemical and adsorption NH4+-N properties of biochar was explored, and anaerobic digestion (AD) with addition of modified biochar (MB) was designed and carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated approach for simultaneous immobilization of lead in both contaminated soil and groundwater: Laboratory test and numerical modeling.
TL;DR: The modeling indicated that phosphate-amended soil could immobilize 509gPbm-2 soil under the environmentally-relevant conditions, given both groundwater and soil quality criteria being met.

TL;DR: In this article, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the combined effect of microorganisms (Trichoderma harzianum L. and Bacillus subtilis L.), biochar (maize straw, cow manure, and poultry manure), and Cd (0, 10, and 30ppm) on plant physiology and growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the biochar aromaticity and molecular structures of the chlorinated organic compounds on the adsorption characteristics
TL;DR: 1,2,4-TCB showed the highest saturated adsorption capacity on all biochars, followed by TCE, 1,2-DCB, and MCB, while CS500 with low SA and TPV development highlighted the important roles of the aromaticity and/or low polarity on the COCs Adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface morphology properties of biochars obtained from different biomass waste
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different biomass waste and its biochar properties have been studied using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Electron Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) to observe the surface morphology properties of the biochars produced from sugarcane bagasse and wheat husk at 800°C.

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.
