Biochar has triggered a black gold rush in environmental studies as a carbon-rich material
with well-developed porous structure and tunable functionality. While much attention has …

Magnetized activated carbons (MAC) were prepared by activating rape straw powder, and
pyrolyzing at different temperatures, then magnetizing activated carbon by hydrothermal …

Biochar oxidation is known as a modification method to enhance the beneficial sorption
characteristics of biochar. To explore this, a comparative physio-chemical analysis of non …

Eutrophication and the resulting formation of harmful algal blooms (HAB) causes huge

The present study examined the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the physicochemical
properties of biochar, activation process and carbon capture. Two different categories of …

Biochar has great potential for the remediation of heavy metal pollution, but the adsorption
instability and high cost of long-term soil remediation limit its industrial application. In this …

Black carbon (BC) is ubiquitous in the environments and participates in various
biogeochemical processes. Both positive and negative effects of BC (especially biochar) on …

Biochar has been widely applied to remediate the heavy metal-polluted soils, whereas
biochar aging can induce the changes of the biochar physic-chemical properties …
