TLDR
The results suggest that anaerobically digested sugar beet tailings can be used as feedstock materials to produce high quality biochars, which could be used to reclaim phosphate, and the DSTC showed the highest phosphate removal ability.About:

A review of biochars’ potential role in the remediation, revegetation and restoration of contaminated soils
Luke Beesley,Eduardo Moreno-Jiménez,Jose L. Gomez-Eyles,Eva Harris,Brett Robinson,Tom Sizmur +5 more
TL;DR: Specific mechanisms of contaminant-biochar retention and release over time and the environmental impact of biochar amendments on soil organisms remain somewhat unclear but must be investigated to ensure that the management of environmental pollution coincides with ecological sustainability.

Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-char sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems - a review
TL;DR: The application of bio-char (charcoal or biomass-derived black carbon (C)) to soil is pro- posed as a novel approach to establish a significant, long-term, sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in terrestrial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The forms of alkalis in the biochar produced from crop residues at different temperatures
TL;DR: The forms of alkalis of the biochars produced from the straws of canola, corn, soybean and peanut at different temperatures (300, 500 and 700°C) were studied by means of oxygen-limited pyrolysis and it was suggested that carbonates were the major alkaline components in theBiochars generated at the high temperature.

Extensive sorption of organic compounds to black carbon, coal, and kerogen in sediments and soils: mechanisms and consequences for distribution, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation
Gerard Cornelissen,Örjan Gustafsson,Thomas D. Bucheli,Michiel T. O. Jonker,and Albert A. Koelmans,Paul C.M. van Noort +5 more
TL;DR: It is advocated that the use of generic organic carbon-water distribution coefficients in the risk assessment of organic compounds is not warranted and that bioremediation endpoints could be evaluated on the basis of freely dissolved concentrations instead of total concentrations in sediment/soil.
