Journal ArticleDOI
A review of biochar properties and their roles in mitigating challenges with anaerobic digestion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the challenges with the AD process and the limitations of the various conventional approaches in its management, and present an exposition of the characteristics of biochar and the physico-chemical properties that can simultaneously promote AD process stability, increase biomethane yield rate and the agronomic quality of digestate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges and recent advances in biochar as low-cost biosorbent: From batch assays to continuous-flow systems
TL;DR: A brief review of recent progress in the research and practical application of biochar with a special emphasis on its potential to reduce the pollutants present in wastewater or to render them harmless.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineered biochar – A sustainable solution for the removal of antibiotics from water
TL;DR: In this article, the most recent data on the consumption of antibiotics, their related environmental contamination, and their removal using biochar-based materials are collated and special attention is paid to the newly emerging approaches of biochar modification and biochar composites in relation to the antibiotic removal from water.

Biochar application to soil for climate change mitigation by soil organic carbon sequestration
Klaus Lorenz,Rattan Lal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of biochar on soils and crop productivity cannot be generalized as they are biochar-, plant-and site-specific, as well as the impacts on downstream environments and net climate impact when biochar particles become airborne.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption removal of methylene blue onto activated carbon/cellulose biocomposite films: Equilibrium and kinetic studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors fabricated activated carbon/cellulose composite (ACC) biosorbent films via solution casting by combining 1-3% w/v of activated carbon with the cellulose solution which dissolved by lithium chloride/N, N-dimethylacetamide.

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.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
