Biochar from Pyrolysis of Biosolids for Nutrient Adsorption and Turfgrass Cultivation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
At water resource recovery facilities, nutrient removal is often required and energy recovery is an ever-increasing goal. Pyrolysis may be a sustainable process for handling wastewater biosolids because energy can be recovered in the py-gas and py-oil ...

Responses of microbial necromass carbon and microbial community structure to straw- and straw-derived biochar in brown earth soil of Northeast China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil microbial organisms are conducive to SOC sequestration. However, little attention has been given to the contributions of living MBC and microbial necromass carbon to the SOC pool under biochar and straw amendments.

Effect of biochar on the greenhouse gas emissions from farmland and its physicochemical properties

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
To investigate the effects of biochar on greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by static chamber-gas chromatograph method, a field experiment with three treatments was conducted: soil without fertilizer (CK), soil with conventional fertilizer (N) and soil with

Rape Straw Biochar Application Enhances Cadmium Immobilization by Promoting Formation of Sulfide and Poorly Crystallized Fe Oxide in Paddy Soils

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
The mechanisms of rape straw biochar that affect the fixation of cadmium (Cd) in paddy soil by influencing redox of iron and sulfur are unclear. Several anaerobic incubation experiments were carried out using Cd-contaminated paddy soils (LY and ZZ). Rape

Assessing the impacts of biochar‐blended urea on nitrogen use efficiency and soil retention in wheat production

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, 2022
Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) in crop plants is important to reduce the negative impact of excessive N on the environment. Although biochar‐blended fertilizer had been increasingly tested in crop production, the fate of fertilized N in soil
