Urea formaldehyde modified alginate beads with improved stability and enhanced removal of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Cu2.

TL;DR: Characterization results showed that UF modification enhanced the pore network and structural stability of the beads, which can be attributed to the reduced intermolecular forces and plentiful of nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms of the bead.

A review of the application of sea material shells as low cost and effective bio-adsorbent for removal of heavy metals from wastewater

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to present the application of oyster shell, snail shell, and shrimp shell as low-cost and effective biosorbents for removal of noxious heavy metals from aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chloro-phosphate impregnated biochar prepared by co-precipitation for the lead, cadmium and copper synergic scavenging from aqueous solution

TL;DR: The available phosphorus results suggested that the combination of biochar with phosphate materials can both improve the adsorption performance and reduce the risk of eutrophication by using phosphate materials which can provide a promising application for multiple heavy metals scavenging.

The Current Scenario and Prospects of Immobilization Remediation Technique for the Management of Heavy Metals Contaminated Soils

TL;DR: In situ immobilization of heavy metals through organic, inorganic, and other stabilizing additives seems to be the most promising remediation technique in managing HMs pollution as mentioned in this paper. But, weathering activities may increase the risk of HMs remobilization due to the breakdown of organic amendments.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
