• Life cycle environmental and economic performance of biochar compared with activated carbon: A meta-analysis (2017, background): “…mg/l Adsorbent dose, g/l Contact time, hour Adsorbed material Adsorption capacity, mg/g References Dairy manure-derived biochar 0.5 5.61 327 10 Zn 32.8 (Xu et al., 2013) Hardwood biochar < 0.5 0.43 7.5 65 5 24 Zn 4.5 (X.

• Comparison of sorption and desorption studies of heavy metal ions from biochar and commercial active carbon (2017, background): “It can be argued that both sorbents have a heterogeneous, well-developed structure [29,46].”
• Influence of pyrolysis temperature on characteristics and heavy metal adsorptive performance of biochar derived from municipal sewage sludge. (2014, background): “Other researchers also reported that the pH level of the biochars derived by pyrolysis increased (Mendez et al., 2013), as a result of the release of alkali salts from the pyrolytic structure (Chen et al., 2011).”
• Wood-based biochar for the removal of potentially toxic elements in water and wastewater: a critical review (2018, background): “[116] found that sorption of Cu and Zn by hardwood biochar was an endothermic process and did not occur spontaneously.”
• Characterization of biochars produced from oil palm and rice husks and their adsorption capacities for heavy metals (2014, positive): “Chen et al. (2011) studied the ability of two different biochars, derived from hardwood and corn straw, to adsorb Cu(II) and Zn(II) from an aqueous solution.”
• Application of biochar for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions. (2015, neutral): “Chen et al. (2011) studied the Cu(II) and Zn(II) adsorption isotherms at different initial heavy metal concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 mM.”
