Journal ArticleDOI
Organic and inorganic contaminants removal from water with biochar, a renewable, low cost and sustainable adsorbent--a critical review.
TL;DR: A review of recent applications of biochars, produced from biomass pyrolysis (slow and fast), in water and wastewater treatment, and a few recommendations for further research have been made in the area of biochar development for application to water filtration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis: A review of product properties and effects of pyrolysis parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, a general summary of the properties of pyrolytic products and their analysis methods is given, as well as a review of the parameters that affect the process and a summary of current state of the art.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of biochar for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions.
TL;DR: An overview of biochar production technologies, biochar properties, and recent advances in the removal of heavy metals, organic pollutants and other inorganic pollutants using biochar is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals of Emerging Concern in Aquatic Systems: Chemistry, Occurrence, Effects, and Removal Methods.
TL;DR: Adsorption technologies are a low-cost alternative, easily used in developing countries where there is a dearth of advanced technologies, skilled personnel, and available capital, and adsorption appears to be the most broadly feasible pharmaceutical removal method.

Mechanisms of metal sorption by biochars: Biochar characteristics and modifications
Hong-Bo Li,Xiaoling Dong,Evandro B. da Silva,Letuzia M. de Oliveira,Yanshan Chen,Lena Q. Ma,Lena Q. Ma +6 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the characteristics of biochar (e.g., surface area, porosity, pH, surface charge, functional groups, and mineral components) and main mechanisms governing sorption of As, Cr, Cd, Pb, and Hg by biochar and includes competitive sorption mechanisms of co-existing metals.

Reduction of Cr(VI) by crop-residue-derived black carbon.
TL;DR: The results suggest that BC derived from burning crop residue is an effective reductant for Cr(VI) and may play an important role in determining the fate of Cr( VI) in BC-rich farmland soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polar and aliphatic domains regulate sorption of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) to biochars.
TL;DR: Hydrophobic partitioning into 'soft' alkyl carbon and specific H-bonding involving char-bound O and N groups jointly account for high affinities of PAEs for low-HTT biochars.

Effects of polyacrylamide, biopolymer, and biochar on decomposition of soil organic matter and plant residues as determined by 14C and enzyme activities
Yasser M. Awad,Yasser M. Awad,Evgenia Blagodatskaya,Evgenia Blagodatskaya,Yong Sik Ok,Yakov Kuzyakov +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM), synthesized biopolymer (BP), and biochar (BC) on the decomposition of 14 C-labeled maize residue in sandy and sandy loam soils were assessed.

Harriet Paterson,Ming Feng,Anya M. Waite,Damià Gomis,Lynnath E. Beckley,D. Holliday,Peter A. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multidisciplinary cruise aboard the R/V Southern Surveyor was conducted in May 2006 to sample a developing anticyclonic eddy of the Leeuwin Current off Western Australia.

Sorption of Deisopropylatrazine on Broiler Litter Biochars
TL;DR: In binary-solute experiments, the sorption of deisopropylatrazine was significantly diminished by Cu(II), further suggesting the predominance of the surface adsorption mechanism at low surface coverage of biochars.
