Production and characterization of slow pyrolysis biochar: influence of feedstock type and pyrolysis conditions (2013, background): “Generally, the yields in this study were lower than results reported in literature (e.g. Özçimen & Ersoy-Meriçboyu, 2008; Masek et al., 2011), where biochar yield above 30 wt% are reported.”
Effects and mechanisms of biochar-microbe interactions in soil improvement and pollution remediation: A review. (2017, background): “It is suggested that labile and semi-labile fractions make up the non-stable biochar fractions, and the characteristics of stable and non-stable fractions of biochars determine their resistance to chemical and biological degradation (Masek et al., 2013).”
Effects of pyrolysis temperature and residence time on physicochemical properties of different biochar types (2017, background): “Existing research has mainly focused on the effect of pyrolysis conditions on biochar yield (Shinogi & Kanri 2003; Masek et al. 2013), elemental composition (Chan et al. 2008; Yuan et al. 2011), microstructure (Lua et al. 2004) and pH value (Van Zwieten et al. 2010; Hossain et al. 2011).”
Biochar from water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) and its impact on soil biological activity (2013, background): “biological processes (Mašek et al., 2011), thus, the stability of applied biochar is very critical.”
