Plant- and microbe-assisted biochar amendment technology for petroleum hydrocarbon remediation in saline-sodic soils: A review

Kudakwashe Meki et al.

Summary: Soil degradation through salinization and pollution by toxic compounds is a significant threat to coastal wetlands. Bioremediation using plants, biochar, and microbes is a cost-effective option for remediation. Biochar enhances plant/microbe growth and can effectively remediate petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) in salinized soils. Plant-microbe interactions mediated rhizodegradation and microbial respiration is more active in biochar amendments. The use of biochar, plants, and microbes is recommended for sustainable and practical remediation of PHCs and salinization.

Co-pyrolysis of biosolids with alum sludge: Effect of temperature and mixing ratio on product properties

Nimesha Rathnayake et al.

Summary: With the rapid growth of biosolids and alum sludge production due to increasing urbanization, sustainable management of these waste materials is becoming more important. Pyrolysis has been identified as a promising method for biosolids management, but the land application of biochar derived from this method may be limited due to the potential increase in heavy metal concentration. This study investigated the co-pyrolysis of biosolids with alum sludge to produce high-quality biochar with reduced heavy metal content. The results showed that co-pyrolysis can effectively reduce heavy metal concentrations in biochar and improve the quality of oil and gas products, suggesting beneficial synergistic effects. The process parameters, such as pyrolysis temperature and alum sludge mixing ratio, also have a significant impact on yield distribution and product properties.

Summary: Calcium oxide has a significant impact on reducing the light substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons released from sewage sludge pyrolysis and inhibiting the formation of heavy ones. The mechanisms involve catalyzing or reacting with different components in the sludge model compounds to affect the content and formation of aromatics. The decrease in nitrogen substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons released from sludge can be attributed to the synergy effects of CaO and other minerals or the effects of CaO on the interaction between protein and other organics.
