Effect of pyrolysis temperature, heating rate, and residence time on rapeseed stem derived biochar

TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrolysis dependent properties of rapeseed stem biochar were investigated under various temperatures (200-700°C, in 50°C intervals), heating rates (1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 20°C/min), and residence times (10,20, 40, 60, 80, 100min).

Biochar application for the remediation of heavy metal polluted land: A review of in situ field trials

TL;DR: It was found that the use of biochar may help increase crop yields on polluted land, and thus reduce the amount of mineral fertilizer used in the field, and in order to maximize the benefits ofBiochar addition, farmers need to accept that the dosage rates of mineral fertilizers should be reduced.

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.
