Background Biochar-based fertilizer products (BCF) have been reported to increase both
crop yield and N-use efficiency. Such positive effects are often assumed to result from the …

The potential risk of various contaminants in water has recently attracted public attention.
Biochars and modified biochars have been widely developed for environmental …

The presence of emerging pollutants especially hazardous chemicals and pharmaceuticals
in aquatic environments is a matter of grave concern to human health and the environment …

As a porous and carbon material, biochar is focused on respectively in sequestrating carbon
and stabilizing metals in soil, while few studies attempted to design biochar for …

Biochar can directly hold cations in soil because of the negative charge that exists on its
surfaces. Besides, improving soil cation exchange capacity, the negative charges on biochar …

Turning biomass into biochar via pyrolysis followed by its amendment into soil is regarded
as a prospective strategy of sequestrating atmospheric carbon and simultaneously aiding …

Biochar is gaining increasing attention in the field of agriculture, since it can not only be
used as a soil amendment for improving soil quality but also as a promising carrier for slow …

Incorporation of phosphorus (P) into an organic matrix may be an effective strategy to
increase plant P use efficiency in high P-fixing soils. The objective of this work was to …

Municipal sewage sludge is rich in phosphorus, the conversion of which into phosphorus-
enriched biochar via microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MWAP) can realize the efficient …

Novel phosphorus/magnesium-engineered biochars were prepared from poultry litter and
tested for their Cd 2+ retention capacity, unraveling the adsorption mechanisms. Batch …
