Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar: A review of its impact on pesticide behavior in soil environments and its potential applications
TL;DR: The role of biochar in primary processes, such as adsorption-desorption and leaching of pesticides, is reviewed, showing demonstrable effects on the fate and effects of pesticides and has been shown to affect the degradation and bioavailability of pesticides for living organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of biochar application on upland agriculture: A review.
Kumuduni Niroshika Palansooriya,Yong Sik Ok,Yasser M. Awad,Sang Soo Lee,Jwa Kyung Sung,Agamemnon Koutsospyros,Deok Hyun Moon +6 more
TL;DR: Biochar can assist in controlling unsuitable soil acidity/alkalinity/salinity and remediating a contaminated soil while increasing the retention of soil organic carbon, water content, and thereby high crop yield and thereby substantially increasing crop yield.

Adsorption of methylene blue on biochar microparticles derived from different waste materials.
Linson Lonappan,Tarek Rouissi,Ratul Kumar Das,Satinder Kaur Brar,Antonio Avalos Ramirez,Mausam P. Verma,Rao Y. Surampalli,José R. Valéro +7 more
TL;DR: Experimental results showed that dye adsorption increased with initial concentration of the adsorbate and biochar dosage, and advertisersorption capacity varied with source material and method of production of biochar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anion exchange capacity of biochar
TL;DR: In this paper, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed a prominent 1590 cm−1 band, which was attributed in part to C-O+ stretching in oxonium heterocycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of biochar and Fe-biochar on Cd and As mobility and transfer in soil-rice system.
TL;DR: It is suggested that biochar and Fe-biochar was effective in reducing Cd and As uptake by rice, respectively, so they may be used as emergency measures to cope with single Cd or As contamination in paddy soils.

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.
