Wood vinegar and biochar co-application mitigates nitrous oxide and methane emissions from rice paddy soil: A two-year experiment
Both biochar (BC) and wood vinegar (WV) influence the nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions from agricultural systems. However, the impacts of BC and WV co-application on rice production, N2O and CH4 emissions are not well documented. We here conducted a two-year soil columns experiment with four treatments: WV (5 t WV ha(-1)), BC […]

Inhibition mechanisms of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter to triclosan photodegradation: A remarkable role of aliphatics
Endocrine disrupting chemicals like triclosan (TCS) have been thought to be an emergent environmental pollutant. The ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) is able to interrelate with TCS and hamper its phototransformation. However, how the components in DOM can inhibit the photodegradation of DOM/TCS complex is largely unknown. Herein, we discovered that TCS photodegradation with biochar-derived […]

Phosphoric acid activation of cow dung biochar for adsorbing enrofloxacin in water: Icing on the cake
In this study, we used different concentrations of H3PO4 to activate pristine biochar (BC) derived from cow dung (BC and BC modified with phosphoric acid at concentrations of 10% (10P-BC), 30% (30P-BC), and 50% (50P-BC)) in order to obtain cheap, high-performance adsorbents. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, scanning elec-tron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, […]
