Recently, biochar has received significant attention, especially for the removal of potentially
toxic elements (PTEs) from water and wastewater. No review has been focused on the …

Soil microbial communities are responsive to biochar amendments. As the residence time of
biochar in soil is expected to be hundreds to thousands of years, the changes in microbial …

Biochar application to soil has been proposed as a potential management strategy to
enhance soil carbon (C) sequestration, reduce greenhouse gas emission, improve soil …

There is global interest in understanding the prospects for biochar application to agricultural
soils. If biochar enhances the availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to crops, this …

Although biochar amendment has been extensively evaluated as a promising strategy to
improve soil quality, most evaluations have been conducted in the laboratory or under short …

Biochar has been utilized as a good amendment to immobilize heavy metals in
contaminated soils. However, the effectiveness of biochar in metal immobilization depends …

Agriculture and land use change has significantly increased atmospheric emissions of the
non-CO2 green-house gases (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). Since human …

and desorption of ammonium and phosphate in wastewater treatment and soil fertility …

There have been limited studies of how the pyrolysis process and activation conditions affect
the chemical properties of biochar and how these properties alter soil carbon (C) and …

Biochars produced from cotton gin waste (CG) and guayule bagasse (GB) were
characterized and explored as potential adsorbents for the removal of pharmaceuticals …
