Engineered carbon (biochar) prepared by direct pyrolysis of Mg-accumulated tomato tissues: characterization and phosphate removal potential.
TLDR
In this paper, an innovative method was developed to produce engineered biochar from magnesium enriched tomato tissues through slow pyrolysis in a N2 environment, which showed better sorption ability to phosphate (P) in aqueous solutions compared to the other four tomato leaves biochars.About:

The Scherrer Formula for X-Ray Particle Size Determination
TL;DR: An exact derivation of the Scherrer equation is given for particles of spherical shape, values of the constant for half-value breadth and for integral breadth being obtained in this article, and various approximation methods which have been used are compared with the exact calculation.

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.
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.

The Scherrer equation versus the 'Debye-Scherrer equation'
Uwe Holzwarth,Neil Gibson +1 more
TL;DR: Paul Scherrer and Peter Debye developed powder X-ray diffraction together, but it was Scherrer who figured out how to determine the size of crystallites from the broadening of diffraction peaks.

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.
