Effect of biochar-derived DOM on the interaction between Cu(II) and biochar prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures

Xujing Guo et al.

Summary: The structure and composition of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter varied significantly at different pyrolysis temperatures, impacting the binding properties of Cu(II) onto walnut-shell DOM. The preferential Cu(II) binding with fulvic-like and protein-like substances at different temperatures were observed, suggesting that pyrolysis temperature plays a crucial role in heavy metal behavior. The presence of DOM influenced the adsorption behavior of biochar towards Cu(II).

Lu Han et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of different biopolymer compositions on the characteristics of DBCs and found that as the heat treatment temperature increased, the carbonaceous structures of biopolymer compositions were reorganized and converted to graphitic structures. Additionally, lignin may facilitate the migration of DBCs.

Gas-phase brown carbon: Absorbance and chromophore types

Qingcai Chen et al.

Summary: The study revealed that gas-phase brown carbon has comparable light absorption capability to particle-phase brown carbon, with no significant correlation between the two. Gas-phase brown carbon accounts for a large portion of total fluorescence volume, mainly composed of phenol and protein-like substances. Further research on the content, reactivity, and seasonal trends of gas-phase brown carbon is necessary to understand its environmental impacts.

Roles of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter in soil amendment and environmental remediation: A critical review

Yuqing Sun et al.

Summary: Biochar is a promising carbonaceous material with abundant functional groups and mesoporous structure, showing potential in improving soil fertility, retaining nutrients, enhancing microbial activity, and immobilizing contaminants. The dissolved organic matter (DOM) from biochar plays a key role in soil matrix, microbial community, and fate of contaminants, with both positive and negative effects that are influenced by various factors such as the nature of biochar-derived DOM and environmental conditions. Understanding the long-term stability and interactions of biochar-derived DOM is critical for minimizing the ecological and environmental risks of biochar application.

Summary: Identification of humic-like substances structures and components in PM2.5 is still challenging due to their complexity. A combination of two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to address this complexity, revealing a significantly higher number of compound species in HULIS compared to previous studies, with aromatics being the most abundant compounds.

Bisphenol A adsorption behavior on soil and biochar: impact of dissolved organic matter

Yawen Deng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of DOM on the adsorption of soil and biochar-bisphenol A system. The results revealed complexation mechanisms and behaviors through experiments and analysis. The findings suggest that biochar can enhance the surface adsorption capacity of the sorption system, and the fluorescence property of DOM is significant for understanding the fate of pollutants in biochar application.

Seasonal variations in the optical characteristics of dissolved organic matter in glacial pond water

D. Vione et al.

Summary: Research has found that the characteristics of DOM in glacier-fed ponds are affected by heavy rainfall events during the melting season, possibly due to transient modifications of the subglacial hydrological system. With global warming, an increase in summer rainfall events in the Alps is predicted.

Biochar Generated from Agro-Industry Sugarcane Residue by Low Temperature Pyrolysis Utilized as an Adsorption Agent for the Removal of Thiamethoxam Pesticide in Wastewater

Julia Oliveira Fernandes et al.

Summary: Biochar produced from sugar cane filter cake after pyrolysis treatment at 380 degrees C showed promising adsorption properties for thiamethoxam pesticide in wastewater, with a removal rate of approximately 70% over a period of 60 min. The use of biochar as an adsorbent for organic compounds is supported by its surface area, mesoporosity, and functional groups.

Relationships between dissolved black carbon and dissolved organic matter in streams

Youhei Yamashita et al.

Summary: Atmospheric deposition of soot is likely a major source of dissolved black carbon (DBC) in streams, which is linearly related to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration. The quality of DBC correlates with qualitative parameters of bulk dissolved organic matter (DOM), indicating a linkage between the transfer mechanism of soot-derived DBC and high-molecular-weight aromatic DOM.

Novel Insights into the Molecular-Level Mechanism Linking the Chemical Diversity and Copper Binding Heterogeneity of Biochar-Derived Dissolved Black Carbon and Dissolved Organic Matter

Fanhao Song et al.

Summary: The study reveals that compared to DBC, DOM contains a higher percentage of tannin-like/condensed aromatic compounds and higher average conditional stability constants (logK(Cu)). The molecular components of 200-320 Da and 320-480 Da in DBC/DOM significantly contribute to the logK(Cu) values of UVA and visible fluorescent components, respectively, with nitrogenous groups likely exhibiting stronger binding affinities than phenolic/carboxylic groups.

Strong Impacts of Legitimate Open Burning on Brown Carbon Aerosol in Northeast China

Yuan Cheng et al.

Summary: The study found that agricultural fires were the main driver for elevated BrC levels, with lower light absorbance compared to residential burning of crop residues. Agricultural fire emissions also led to overestimation of elemental carbon (EC) mass. This study indicates that the new open burning policy may not be successful in improving air quality or mitigating climate change.

Evidence for Large Amounts of Brown Carbonaceous Tarballs in the Himalayan Atmosphere

Qi Yuan et al.

Summary: The study identifies light-absorbing tarballs in particles collected on the northern slope of the Himalayas, with about 28% of individual particles being tarballs. These tarballs, emitted from biomass burning in the Indo-Gangetic Plain, have a significant heating effect in the Himalayan atmosphere. The findings suggest that long-range transport of tarballs may play a crucial role in climate effects and glacial melting in the Himalayas.
