- Biochar in bioenergy cropping systems: impacts on soil faunal communities and linked ecosystem processes (2013, background): “However, depending on feedstock, pretreatment and production, biochar may itself be a source of organic contaminants, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (Hale et al., 2012), which is an important consideration if applying biochar to vulnerable or degraded systems.”
- Biochar elemental composition and factors influencing nutrient retention (2015, methodology): “Other waste data averaged from: Bolan et al, 2012; Choppala et al, 2012; Galvez et al, 2012; Hale et al, 2012; Hilber et al, 2012; Kinney et al, 2012; and Oh et al, 2012.”
- The way forward in biochar research: targeting trade‐offs between the potential wins (2015, background): “In addition, while biochar can contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; by-products of incomplete combustion) these amounts are low and hardly bioavailable such that biochars leach PAHs far below water quality criteria (Hale et al., 2012).”
- Chemical modification of biomass residues during hydrothermal carbonization – What makes the difference, temperature or feedstock? (2013, result): “In this study, hydrochars have the tendency of higher total PAH contents with increasing charring temperature which is in contrast to the results of Hale et al. (2012). They observed a decrease of total PAH concentration with increasing temperature.”
- Application of biochar for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions. (2015, unknown): “Similar results were also found by Hale et al. (2012).”
- A green method for production of nanobiochar by ball milling- optimization and characterization (2017, result): “It was consistent with the results obtained in previous studies, in which naphthalene was the dominant PAH in wood-based chars, especially with shorter times of pyrolysis (Hale et al., 2012; Kloss et al., 2012).”
