Adsorption of VOCs onto engineered carbon materials: A review
TL;DR: This review discusses recent research developments of VOC adsorption onto a variety of engineered carbonaceous adsorbents, including activated carbon, biochar, activated carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, graphene and its derivatives, carbon-silica composites, ordered mesoporous carbon, etc.

Engineered/designer biochar for contaminant removal/immobilization from soil and water: Potential and implication of biochar modification
Anushka Upamali Rajapaksha,Season S. Chen,Daniel C.W. Tsang,Ming Zhang,Meththika Vithanage,Sanchita Mandal,Bin Gao,Nanthi Bolan,Yong Sik Ok +8 more
TL;DR: Modification to produce engineered/designer biochar is likely to enhance the sorption capacity of biochar and its potential applications for environmental remediation.

Removal of arsenic by magnetic biochar prepared from pinewood and natural hematite
Shengsen Wang,Bin Gao,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Yuncong Li,Lena Q. Ma,Willie G. Harris,Kati W. Migliaccio +6 more
TL;DR: The hematite modified biochar not only had stronger magnetic property but also showed much greater ability to remove As from aqueous solution, likely because the γ-Fe2O3 particles on the carbon surface served as sorption sites through electrostatic interactions.

The potential role of biochar in the removal of organic and microbial contaminants from potable and reuse water: A review.
Mandu Inyang,Eric R.V. Dickenson +1 more
TL;DR: More sorption data using biochar especially at demonstration-scale, for treating potable and reuse water in adsorption/filtration applications will help establish the potential of biochars to serve as surrogates for activated carbons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar modification to enhance sorption of inorganics from water
TL;DR: This review evaluates various methods to increase the sorption efficiency of biochar including activation with steam, acids and bases and the production ofBiochar-based composites with metal oxides, carbonaceous materials, clays, organic compounds, and biofilms.

Controlling Eutrophication: Nitrogen and Phosphorus
Daniel J. Conley,Hans W. Paerl,Robert W. Howarth,Donald F. Boesch,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Karl E. Havens,Christiane Lancelot,Gene E. Likens +7 more
TL;DR: Improvements in the water quality of many freshwater and most coastal marine ecosystems requires reductions in both nitrogen and phosphorus inputs.

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
A handful of carbon
TL;DR: On the climate change mitigation front, the incorporation of ‘biochar’ into the soil is one idea gaining support, and Johannes Lehmann argues that trapping biomass carbon in this way is more effective than storing it in plants and trees that will one day decompose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable biochar to mitigate global climate change
TL;DR: The maximum sustainable technical potential of biochar to mitigate climate change is estimated, which shows that it has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.

A review of biochar and its use and function in soil
TL;DR: The potential to sequester carbon as thermally stabilized (charred) biomass using existing organic resource is estimated to be at least 1 Gt/yr − 1 and biochar, defined by its useful application to soil, is expected to provide a benefit from enduring physical and chemical properties.
