The valorization of biochar as a green and low-cost adsorbent provides a sustainable
alternative to commercial wastewater treatment technologies that are usually chemical …

Crop straw is commonly returned back to agricultural fields to improve soil nutrient status. In
order to compare the effects of straw returning modes (direct and carbonization returning) on …

The effectiveness of almond shell-derived biochar (ASB) in immobilizing soil heavy metals
(HMs) and its impact on soil microbial activity and diversity have not been sufficiently …

In this study, rice straw derived biochar (RSBC) was used as a precursor for obtaining
oxidized biochar (RSBC-Ox), for which the capability for adsorbing/removing uranium (VI) …

Two potent greenhouse gases that are mostly found in agricultural soils are methane and
nitrous oxide. Therefore, we investigated the effect of different moisture regimes on microbial …

Biochar applied to the soil has contributed to the improvement of soil quality, the availability
of nutrients for plants, and carbon retention. Besides, the presence of biochar can affect …

Low concentrations of vanadium (V) are essential for various plant species but it becomes
toxic to plants, animals, and humans at high levels. A significant amount of V is currently …

With the growing awareness of environmental impacts of land degradation, pressure is
mounting to improve the health and productivity of degrading soils, which could be achieved …

Abstract Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate esters (DEHP) has attracted widespread attention due to
its ecotoxicological effects on organisms. In this study, wheat seedlings were exposed to …

In the present study, biochars (BCs) derived from naturally grown green waste (Cynodon
dactylon L.) were investigated regarding their impacts on bioaccumulation of potentially toxic …
