Novel insights into the adsorption of organic contaminants by biochar: A review

Zirui Luo et al.

Summary: Biochar plays a crucial role in wastewater and polluted soil decontamination as an adsorbent for organic contaminants. However, further research is needed on aspects such as dynamic adsorption, potential environmental risks, interactions between biochar and soil microbes to facilitate its practical application. This research will contribute to a better understanding of organic contaminants' adsorption removal by biochar.

Assessment of aerobic biodegradation of lower-chlorinated benzenes in contaminated groundwater using field-derived microcosms and compound-specific carbon isotope fractionation

Alba Trueba-Santiso et al.

Summary: The biodegradation of lower chlorinated benzenes was assessed in a coastal aquifer, where monochlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene were found to be degraded aerobically. However, anaerobic reductive dechlorination was not enhanced by the addition of lactate in the anaerobic microcosms. Carbon stable isotope analysis was suggested as a monitoring tool for aerobic remediation treatment of these chlorinated benzenes.

Comparing biochar and hydrochar for reducing the risk of organic contaminants in polluted river sediments used for growing energy crops

Snezana Maletic et al.

Summary: This study compares the use of biochar and hydrochar for the remediation of sediment contaminated with various pollutants. The results show that biochar is more effective in reducing pollutant bioaccessibility and has lower toxicity to bacteria and plants compared to hydrochar. Therefore, biochar can be considered as an effective remediation agent to reduce the risk of contaminants in river sediments.

A review of pesticides sorption in biochar from maize, rice, and wheat residues: Current status and challenges for soil application

Allan Pretti Ogura et al.

Summary: Biochar, produced from crop residues, shows potential for sorption and remediation of pesticides, reducing their bioavailability and toxicity. Factors such as pyrolysis temperature, feedstock, and specific surface area influence biochar properties. More research is needed to study biochar aging, desorption potential, pesticide co-contaminations, and field applications for sustainable agricultural systems.

Biochar and hydrochar derived from freshwater sludge: Characterization and possible applications

Yunhui Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the production and characteristics of hydrochar and biochar, finding that biochar is more suitable for carbon sequestration, while hydrochar contains more labile carbon structures. The results also show that the surface hydrophobicity of hydrochar, biochar, and IS decreases, and they have a positive effect on germination of wheat seeds.

Mechanisms of alachlor and pentachlorobenzene adsorption on biochar and hydrochar originating from Miscanthus giganteus and sugar beet shreds

Irina Jevrosimov et al.

Summary: This research investigated the adsorption mechanism of alachlor and pentachlorobenzene on chars derived from Miscanthus giganteus and sugar beet shreds. Both hydrochars and biochars were studied, showing that biochars had a higher specific surface area (SSA) which influenced the adsorption mechanism. Different temperature treatments led to varied trends in SSA and pore volume for chars derived from different feedstocks.
