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.

Adsorption performance of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by a waste biomass based hydrogel: comparison of isotherm and kinetic models

TL;DR: The rice husk biochar (RHB), biochar/ca-alginate composites (CA-RHB) was synthesized for the removal of aqueous Cu(II) and Zn(II), characterised by BET, SEM, EDS, and FT-IR as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation and applications of Biochar Based Nanocomposite: A Review

TL;DR: A concise study of the preparation, characterization and elaboration of antimicrobial properties of biochar nanocomposites is required for better understanding of readers as mentioned in this paper , but the extensive discussion about properties of BNC is scanty in literature.
Book ChapterDOI

Biochar as an Adsorbent: A Short Overview

TL;DR: The change of lignocellulosic biomass into valuable products is gradually gaining research interest, not only because of their abundance, but also because of the quantity of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin it contains as discussed by the authors.

Biochar affects methylmercury production and bioaccumulation in paddy soils: Insights from soil-derived dissolved organic matter.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used original and modified biochar to investigate their effect on DOM dynamics and their potential impact on methylmercury (MeHg) production and bioaccumulation in rice plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

State-of-the-art of research progress on adsorptive removal of fluoride-contaminated water environments using biochar-based materials: Practical feasibility through reusability and column transport studies.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors highlight the current state of knowledge for fluoride adsorption using biochar-based materials and the limitations of biochar for fluoride-contaminated groundwater and industrial wastewater treatment.

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.
