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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of slow pyrolysis biochars: effects of feedstocks and pyrolysis temperature on biochar properties.

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.
