Nitrogen availability in biochar-based fertilizers depending on activation treatment and nitrogen source

Raill Castejon-del Pino et al.

Summary: Different activation and N-doping treatments were used to produce biochar-based fertilizers (BBFs) with increased N concentration and slow N release. The activation of low-temperature biochars with nitric acid was the most effective treatment, leading to new surface carboxylic groups that facilitated N enrichment. Urea treatment resulted in BBFs with the highest N content, while hydrogen peroxide activation only allowed a limited increase in N concentration. The presence of water-soluble, hydrolyzable, and non-hydrolyzable N fractions in the BBFs suggests their potential as slow-release fertilizers.

Co-incorporation of hydrotalcite and starch into biochar-based fertilizers for the synthesis of slow-release fertilizers with improved water retention

Jiawei Lu et al.

Summary: In this study, a new type of slow-release fertilizer with high water retention, named HS-BCF, was fabricated by incorporating hydrotalcite and starch into traditional biochar-based compound fertilizers (BCF). The results showed that the incorporation of hydrotalcite and starch into BCF significantly increased the soil water-retention ratio and reduced the leaching of nutrients. Kinetic analysis revealed that the release of nutrients from HS-BCF was attributed to the coupling of the diffusion-controlled and relaxation-controlled mechanism. The pot experiments demonstrated that HS-BCF had higher N-P-K utilization efficiencies compared to BCF due to better synchronization between nutrient release and plant uptake.

Xuebo Hu et al.

Summary: Pyrolysis temperature has a significant impact on the properties of biochar, which in turn affects the adsorption of heavy metal ions. Comparing biochars from the pyrolysis of maize straw and wheat straw, it was found that the biochar produced at 400 degrees C from maize straw showed the best physical and chemical properties, as well as a higher adsorption rate and capacity. The adsorption mechanisms involve surface precipitation of carbonates and phosphates, as well as complexation with oxygenated functional groups and delocalized pi electrons.
