Biochar-amended potting medium reduces the susceptibility of rice to root-knot nematode infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Biochar is a solid coproduct of biomass pyrolysis, and soil amended with biochar has been shown to enhance the productivity of various crops and induce systemic plant resistance to fungal pathogens.

Adsorption Desulfurization of Liquid Fuel Using a Blend of Date Stones and Walnut Shells by Box–Behnken Design

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A specific microporous KOH/activated‐biochar (K/BC) was produced from a blend of date stones (DS) and walnut shells (WS) and used in the adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) of two types of model fuel DBT/n‐hexane (S‐hex), DBT/cyclohexane (S‐cyclohex).

Dose-Dependent Effects of Biochar on Soil Revealed by Fast Field-Cycling (FFC) NMR: From Molecular Water Dynamics to Soil Functionality. [PDF]

open access: yesMagn Reson Chem
Dose–response of biochar in a clay soil: fifteen mixtures (fBC 0–1) reveal nonlinear thresholds (pH/EC) and sharp WHC gains near fBC ≈ 0.3–0.5. Coupled FT‐IR and FFC‐NMR (0.01–10 MHz; ModelFree τc distributions) link water dynamics to soil functionality.

Removal of Methylene Blue and Congo Red Dyes Using Sustainable and Eco‐Friendly Bioadsorbents: A Review

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The continuous increasing discharge of synthetic dyes into aquatic systems seems to be an important environmental and health risk due to their high toxicity and resistance to biodegradation. Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) are widely used in textile and industrial applications, necessitating sustainable and efficient ...

Microbial mechanisms of organic matter mineralization induced by straw in biochar-amended paddy soil

open access: yesBiochar
Straw return accelerates microbial mineralization of SOM. Combined biochar and straw input raises SOM mineralization by 60%. Biochar addition increases ^13C incorporation from straw into Gram + bacteria and fungi.

Magnetic Pinecone Biochar‐Activated Peroxymonosulfate for Efficient Sulfamethoxazole Degradation: Performance, Mechanism, and Toxicity Analysis

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study successfully prepared magnetic iron/cobalt codoped biochar catalyst (CFSBC) using a one‐step calcination method. The morphology and structure of the material were systematically characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, TEM, BET, Raman, VSM, and XPS techniques. The effects of key parameters such as catalyst dosage, peroxymonosulfate (PMS)

Isolation and Properties of Enterobacter sp. LX3 Capable of Producing Indoleacetic Acid

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Indoleacetic acid (IAA) can act as a phytohormone to modulate plant growth and development, thus persistent search for IAA-producing microbes is underway for a potential application in promoting plant growth. In this paper, an IAA-producing bacterium was

Insights into the influences of biochar on the fate and transport of pesticides in the soil environment: a critical review

open access: yesBiochar
Pesticide misuse and overuse severely pollute agricultural soils, water, and crop yields, harming people and animals. This situation raises serious concerns about environmental pollution on a global scale. As an eco-friendly material for soil remediation,

Quantitative characterization of pore structure of several biochars with 3D imaging

open access: yes, 2017
Pore space characteristics of biochars may vary depending on the used raw material and processing technology. Pore structure has significant effects on the water retention properties of biochar amended soils.
