The vertical sequestration of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by iron minerals along the soil profile is assumed to be central to the long-term storage of the soil organic matter (SOM) […]

A novel strategy was proposed to remediate Cr(VI)-contaminated soil via phosphoric acid-modified biochar supported sulfide nanoscale zero-valent iron (SnZVI@PBC). Results of characterizations revealed that FeSX shell existed in outer layer […]

Fe-N-doped biochar is a promising material for advanced-oxidation heterogeneous catalysis, but its adsorption-catalytic performance is significantly affected by biomass feedstock compositions and thermal conversion conditions and is not yet conclusive. […]

Improving salt-affected soil health using different strategies is of great significance for Sustainable Development Goals. The effects of biochar as a sustainable carbon negative soil amendment on phosphorous (P) pools […]

Irrational nitrogen (N) fertilizer management and application practices have led to a range of ecological and environmental problems that seriously threaten food security. In this study, an effective N fertilizer […]

Carbonized organic materials are widely used to achieve soil improvement and alleviate soil pollution. The carbonization process significantly changes the total phosphorus (P) content and the P form in the […]

Application of biochar to landfill cover soils can purportedly improve methane (CH4) oxidation rates, but understanding the combined effects of soil texture, compaction, and biochar on the activity and composition […]

In this study, the effects of coexistence with microplastics and co-ageing with the soil on adsorption behaviors and mechanisms of biochar for heavy metals were investigated. Adsorption experiments of Cd, […]

Magnesium-functionalized Magnolia grandiflora Linn leaf-derived biochar (MBC) capable of efficiently reclaiming phosphorus from urine was synthesized by slow co-pyrolysis. Four adsorption kinetic and seven adsorption isotherm models were fitted to […]

Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) released from the Sb smelting activities pose a major environmental risk and ecological degradation in Sb smelting sites. Here the effects of Fe/H2O2 modified biochar […]
