• Influence of Pyrolysis Temperature on Cadmium and Zinc Sorption Capacity of Sugar Cane Straw–Derived Biochar (2013, background): “On the other hand, Cao et al. (2009) observed that manure-derived biochar produced at 200 °C (BC200) showed higher Pb sorption than biochar formed at 350 °C (BC350).”
• Application of biochar for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions. (2015, neutral): “The available peer-reviewed scientific literatures about the biochar are mainly concerned about its application in soil, technical, economical, and climate-related aspects of biochar (Atkinson et al., 2010; Beesley et al., 2011; Duku et al., 2011; Jeffery et al., 2011; Lehmann et al., 2011; Meyer et”
• A review of biochar as a low-cost adsorbent for aqueous heavy metal removal (2016, background): “As for biochar’s applications, there are several good reviews about the potential environmental applications of biochar to immobilizing contaminants, including metals and organics, in soils (Beesley et al., 2011; Kookana, 2010; Mohan and Pittman, 2007).”
• Biochar as a Multifunctional Component of the Environment—A Review (2019, positive): “Furthermore, due to the rapid effects and relatively low costs of such treatment, biochars are more and more frequently used in processes of soil remediation and conservation [130].”
• Competing uses for China's straw: the economic and carbon abatement potential of biochar (2015, background): “…lower input costs (Biederman & Harpole, 2013; Crane-Droesch et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2013b); improving fertilizer-use efficiency (Steiner et al., 2008; Chan & Xu, 2009; Van Zwieten et al., 2010); and/or remediating contaminated soils (Beesley et al., 2011; Bian et al., 2013; Houben et al., 2013).”
• Redox properties of plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar). (2014, background): “Sorption to chars 64 strongly affects the transport and bioavailability of xenobiota in natural systems, and 65 char amendments are considered as effective means to immobilize contaminants.(21-23) 66 An increasingly discussed aspect of char functionality is their apparent role as 67 electron transfe”
• Biochar applications and modern techniques for characterization (2016, background): “…(N2), (CO2) (m 2g-1) SSA of the high nano/micro-pore may increase the sorptive property of organic compounds to biochars and increase water-holding capacity of soil (Beesley et al. 2011; Karhu et al. 2011) Electric conductivity (EC) (mS m-1) EC shows the quantity of salt enclosed in the biochar.”
