- Biochar physicochemical properties: pyrolysis temperature and feedstock kind effects (2020, background): “Surface groups can act as electron donors or electron acceptors, which leads to the formation of coexisting areas whose properties can range from acidic to basic and from hydrophilic to hydrophobic (Amonette and Joseph 2009).”
- Production, activation, and applications of biochar in recent times (2020, background): “Feedstock type and its form have a significant influence on biochar yield, and its physical properties such as pore structure, pH, EC, CEC, surface area, and chemical properties (Gaskin et al. 2008; Amonette and Jospeh 2009; Lehmann 2007).”
- Biochar elemental composition and factors influencing nutrient retention (2015, background): “Low extractable N concentrations (as NO3, NH4, NO2) in biochars have been frequently observed (Belyaeva and Haynes, 2012) and can be attributable to gaseous N loss during pyrolysis (Amonette and Joseph, 2009).”
- Chemical modification of biomass residues during hydrothermal carbonization – What makes the difference, temperature or feedstock? (2013, unknown): “(<50 C/min) under an anoxic atmosphere (Amonette and Joseph, 2009).”
- Assessment of Pistachio Shell Biochar Quality and Its Potential for Adsorption of Heavy Metals (2015, result): “Similar results have been reported regarding the pyrolysis yield of biochars produced from several other agricultural wastes, namely peanut hulls, pecan shells, corncob poultry litter and switchgrass in this temperature range [21, 22].”
- Soil amendment with biochar increases maize yields in a semi-arid region by improving soil quality and root growth (2016, background): “The higher porosity in the biochar-amended soils could improve soil aeration, water-storage capacity and the microbial and nutritional statuses of the soil, which were important for root distribution (Amonette and Joseph 2009; Kolb et al. 2009; Githinji 2014).”
- Nanoscale organo-mineral reactions of biochars in ferrosol: an investigation using microscopy (2012, background): “Biochars produced under 550°C have a range of both acid and base functional groups on their surfaces (Amonette and Joseph 2009).”
