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.

A novel magnetic biochar efficiently sorbs organic pollutants and phosphate
TL;DR: It is suggested that the magnetic biochar is a potential sorbent to remove organic contaminants and phosphate simultaneously from wastewater.
Physical Properties of Biochar
TL;DR: The physical properties of biochar can be both directly and indirectly related to the way in which they affect soil systems as mentioned in this paper, and the physical properties can contribute to their function as a tool for environmental management.
Biochar Application to Soils - A Critical Scientific Review of Effects on Soil Properties, Processes and Functions
TL;DR: A critical review of the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of biochar application to soil on soil properties and functions is provided in this paper, where the main focus is providing a sound scientific basis for policy development, to identify gaps in current knowledge, and to recommend further research relating to biochar applications to soils.

Characterization of slow pyrolysis biochars: effects of feedstocks and pyrolysis temperature on biochar properties.
Stefanie Kloss,Franz Zehetner,Alex Dellantonio,Raad Hamid,Franz Ottner,Volker Liedtke,Manfred Schwanninger,Martin H. Gerzabek,Gerhard Soja +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that biochars are highly heterogeneous materials that, depending on feedstock and HTT, may be suitable for soil application by contributing to the nutrient status and adding recalcitrant C to the soil but also potentially pose ecotoxicological challenges.
