Preparation and applications of Biochar Based Nanocomposite: A Review
Rashmita Das,Samaredra N. Panda +1 more
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.

TL;DR: In this article, Flannery presented a Biochar Classification and Test Methods for determining the quantity of Biochar within Soils and its effect on Nutrient Transformations and Nutrient Leaching.
Book ChapterDOI
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
Luke Beesley,Eduardo Moreno-Jiménez,Jose L. Gomez-Eyles,Eva Harris,Brett Robinson,Tom Sizmur +5 more
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.
