A review of biochar as a low-cost adsorbent for aqueous heavy metal removal (2016, background): “Recently, two comprehensive reviews (Ahmad et al., 2014; Mohan et al., 2014a) were published on several aspects of biochar production and heavy metal sorption, but certain aspects such as heavy metal sorption kinetic and thermodynamic behaviors on different biochar types are yet to be reviewed in de”
New trends in biochar pyrolysis and modification strategies: feedstock, pyrolysis conditions, sustainability concerns and implications for soil amendment (2020, background): “It is hypothesized that decomposition of aliphatic carboxyl and alkyl groups and the exposure of lignin aromatic cores are responsible for this increase (Ahmad et al., 2014; Chen and Chen, 2009).”
Efficient elimination of organic and inorganic pollutants by biochar and biochar-based materials (2020, background): “The effects of the abovementioned factors on organic pollutants sorption by biochars have been extensively investigated in a number of excellent reviews in the literatures (Ahmad et al. 2014; Huang et al. 2019a; Mohan et al. 2014), and we do not discuss these topics in this review.”
Biochar physicochemical properties: pyrolysis temperature and feedstock kind effects (2020, background): “As a result, the structure of biochar appears to have more organized C layers (like graphene structure) and less content of surface functional groups when pyrolysis temperature increases (Ahmad et al. 2014b).”
