As a multi-beneficial amendment, biochar is reasonable and reliable to be employed as an
amendment to implement soil remediation. An overview on the manufacture, applications for …

The degradation of soil fertility and quality due to rapid industrialization and human activities
has stimulated interest in the rehabilitation of low-fertility soils to sustainably improve crop …

Petroleum contamination is considered as a major risk to the health of humans and
environment. Biochars as low-cost and eco-friendly carbon materials, have been widely …

Soil amendment with biochar is evaluated globally as a means to improve soil fertility and to
mitigate climate change. However, the effects of biochar on soil biota have received much …

Biochars are biological residues combusted under low oxygen conditions, resulting in a
porous, low density carbon rich material. Their large surface areas and cation exchange …

Sawdust and wheat straw biochars prepared at 300° C and 500° C were applied to
petroleum-polluted soil for an 84-day incubation to estimate their effectiveness on polycyclic …

Pyrogenic carbonaceous matter (PCM) includes environmental black carbon (fossil fuel
soot, biomass char), engineered carbons (biochar, activated carbon), and related materials …

Research on the environmental impacts of black carbon has focused largely on sorption.
Besides being a strong geosorbent, black carbon is redox-active and may facilitate abiotic …

Oxygen-containing carboxyl, hydroxyl, and phenolic surface functional groups of soil organic
and mineral components play central roles in binding metal ions, and biochar amendment …

In this review, the strategies being employed to exploit the inherent durability of biofilms and
the diverse nutrient cycling of the microbiome for bioremediation are explored. Focus will be …
