Life cycle environmental and economic performance of biochar compared with activated carbon: A meta-analysis (2017, methodology): “…to be used as an adsorbent in units of $/kg. Bulk density of biochar ranged between 0.1-1.1 Mg/m3 based on 20 datapoints as shown in Table 2 (Anderson et al. 2013; Beesley and Marmiroli 2011; Berger 2012; Downie 2011; Mahimairaja 2012; Mohan et al. 2011; Nhuchhen et al. 2014; Shackley et al. 2010).”
Preparation and characterization of a novel magnetic biochar for arsenic removal. (2013, background): “It has been reported that biochar converted from hardwoods may have potential ability, but may not be high, to immobilize arsenic from aqueous solutions (Beesley and Marmiroli, 2011).”
Removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution by biochars derived from anaerobically digested biomass. (2012, background): “The Langmuir sorption capacity of lead sorption on the DWSBC was around 197 mmol kg (1), which is comparable to that of commercial activated carbons (101– 395 mmol kg (1)) and other biochar sorbents (11–680 mmol kg (1)) (Beesley and Marmiroli, 2011; Cao et al., 2009; Inyang et al., 2011; Liu and Zha”
Biochar Preparation, Characterization, and Adsorptive Capacity and Its Effect on Bioavailability of Contaminants: An Overview (2014, methodology): “Extensive feedstock biomasses have been used in the production of BC [17], such as bioenergy crops (willows, miscanthus, and switchgrass) [19, 20], forest residues (sawdust, grain crops, and nut shells) [21], organic waste (green yard waste and animalmanure) [22, 23], agricultural waste [24–29], kit”
A review of biochars' potential role in the remediation, revegetation and restoration of contaminated soils. (2011, methodology): “In a column tests using the same soil as the field-exposure experiment, biochar similarly reduced concentrations of Cd and Zn in leachate with evidence of surface sorption of both Cd and Zn to biochar (Beesley and Marmiroli, 2011), examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).”
Biochar: a synthesis of its agronomic impact beyond carbon sequestration. (2012, background): “…use as a nutrient recovery agent (Streubel et al., 2010), as an additive for reducing the bioavailability and mobility of toxic trace metals (Beesley and Marmiroli, 2011; Uchimiya et al., 2011), as a contaminant mitigation agent (Beesley et al., 2010), or as a material for iron and steel…”
Redox properties of plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar). (2014, background): “3 biogeochemical relevance, chars also play a role in environmental engineering as 63 high affinity sorbents for organic and inorganic pollutants.(12-20) Sorption to chars 64 strongly affects the transport and bioavailability of xenobiota in natural systems, and 65 char amendments are considered as ”
Biochar: a sustainable solution (2020, background): “A wide variety of feedstock biomasses have been used for the production of biochar, such as kitchen waste, agricultural waste, forest residues, bioenergy crops, sewage sludge, animal litter and even algae (Mazac 2016; Zhao et al. 2013; Xu et al. 2012; Beeseley and Marmiroli 2011; Lu et al. 2012; Can”
Using biochar for remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals and organic pollutants (2013, neutral): “Using the same soil in a column leaching experiment, biochar addition immobilized both Cd and Zn, and consequently, the pore water Cd and Zn concentrations were reduced 300- and 45-folds, respectively (Beesley and Marmiroli 2011).”
Removal of arsenic by magnetic biochar prepared from pinewood and natural hematite. (2015, background): “, 2012), their sorption of aqueous As, which is in anionic forms of either arsenate (As(V)) or arsenite (As(III)), is relatively low (Beesley and Marmiroli, 2011).”
