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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of metal sorption by biochars: Biochar characteristics and modifications

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of polyacrylamide, biopolymer, and biochar on decomposition of soil organic matter and plant residues as determined by 14C and enzyme activities

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical and chemical signatures of a developing anticyclonic eddy in the Leeuwin Current, eastern Indian Ocean

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.
