TLDR
In this article, chitosan-modified biochars were synthesized in efforts to produce a low-cost adsorbent for heavy metal environmental remediation, and the results showed that the coating of chitosa on biochar surfaces could improve its performance as a soil amendment or an adorbent.

Effect of Pyrolysis Temperature on PhysicoChemical Properties and Acoustic-Based Amination of Biochar for Efficient CO2 Adsorption

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pyrolysis temperature on physicochemical properties of biochar, activation process and carbon capture was examined, and two different categories of biochars were synthesized from herbaceous (miscanthus and switchgrass) or agro-industrial (corn stover and sugarcane bagasse) feedstock under four different pyroplysis temperatures-500, 600, 700, 700 and 800 oC.

Enhancement of As(V) adsorption from aqueous solution by a magnetic chitosan/biochar composite

TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetic chitosan/biochar composite (MCB) was prepared successfully, and characterized by SEM, TEM, VSM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, and zeta-potential to obtain its physical and chemical properties.

Enhanced aqueous Cr(VI) removal using chitosan-modified magnetic biochars derived from bamboo residues

TL;DR: Results showed that chitosan modification provided more active adsorption sites on the surface of magnetic bamboo biochar (MBB), and hence enhanced Cr( VI) removal from aqueous solution, and indicated that CMBB could be a practical adsorbent that can be utilized for the detoxification of Cr(VI) ions from wastewater.

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.

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.

A review of biochars’ potential role in the remediation, revegetation and restoration of contaminated soils

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.

Positive and negative carbon mineralization priming effects among a variety of biochar-amended soils.

TL;DR: In an effort to better understand the interaction of pyrogenic C and soil organic matter (OM), a range of Florida soils were incubated with a variety of laboratory-produced biochars and CO 2 evolution was measured over more than one year as discussed by the authors.
