Investigating the Influence of Biochar Particle Size and Depth of Placement on Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) Emissions from Simulated Urine Patches

Agriculture, 2018
The use of biochar reduces nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soils under specific conditions yet the mechanisms through which interactions occur are not fully understood.

Emerging Investigators Series: Pyrolysis Removes Common Microconstituents Triclocarban, Triclosan, and Nonylphenol from Biosolids [PDF]

, 2016
Reusing biosolids is vital for the sustainability of wastewater management. Pyrolysis is an anoxic thermal degradation process that can be used to convert biosolids into energy rich py-gas and py-oil, and a beneficial soil amendment, biochar.

Conversation of pesticide residues into ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N) through AOPs and its fertilization effect on lettuce growth

Biochar
Eliminating pesticide residues in soil through the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) has been attracted a lot of attention in recent years. However, the potential of converting them into small molecular nutrients such as ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N) has

Mineral-enriched biochar delivers enhanced nutrient recovery and carbon dioxide removal

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Mineral doping of biomass prior to pyrolysis enhances carbon dioxide removal associated with biochar application to soils due to increased stable carbon yield, while also improving biochar fertiliser value through added nutrients and enhanced phosphorus ...

Corn cob biochar increases soil culturable bacterial abundance without enhancing their capacities in utilizing carbon sources in Biolog Eco-plates

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
Biochar has been shown to influence soil microbial communities in terms of their abundance and diversity. However, the relationship among microbial abundance, structure and C metabolic traits is not well studied under biochar application.

Pyrolysis of Wastewater Biosolids Significantly Reduces Estrogenicity [PDF]

, 2016
Most wastewater treatment processes are not specifically designed to remove micropollutants. Many micropollutants are hydrophobic so they remain in the biosolids and are discharged to the environment through land-application of biosolids. Micropollutants

Contribution of Soluble Minerals in Biochar to Pb2+ Adsorption in Aqueous Solutions

BioResources, 2017
Biochar is widely used as an adsorbent to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. To investigate the contribution of soluble minerals (mainly anions) to Pb2+ removal in solution, wheat straw biochar was washed with deionized water to remove soluble ...

Mycorrhizas and biomass crops: opportunities for future sustainable development [PDF]

, 2009
Central to soil health and plant productivity in natural ecosystems are in situ soil microbial communities, of which mycorrhizal fungi are an integral component, regulating nutrient transfer between plants and the surrounding soil via extensive mycelial ...
