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.About:

Effective immobilisation of chromium in a polluted calcareous soil using modified biochar and bacterial inoculation
TL;DR: In this paper, a greenhouse trial was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of chitosa chitosas in the remediation of chromium (Cr)-polluted soils, and the results showed that it was among the most efficient strategies in heavy metal removal.

Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative relationships between the adsorptivity of carbonaceous materials in soil for Pb(II) and soil organic matter content.
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of SOM on the adsorptivity of manufactured carbonaceous materials (MCMs) in soil follows a sequential pathway of SOM releasing DOM in soil solution and subsequent DOM binding onto MCMs, thereby altering MCM surface acidity and hence changing MCM adsorption for heavy metals.

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.

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.
