This chapter focuses on the potential application of biochar in the context of risk-based
management of land contaminated with moderate concentrations of potentially toxic metals …

Biochar has seized interest due to its important impact on the remediation of heavy-metal-
contaminated soil. Based on the research accomplishments of biochar remediation of heavy …

The presence of biochar in soils through natural processes (forest fires, bush burning) or
through application to soil (agriculture, carbon storage, remediation, waste management) …

Biochar is increasingly being recognized by scientists and policy makers for its potential role
in carbon sequestration, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, waste …

The contamination of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) is widespread in the world and has
negatively affected plants, humans, soil health, and environmental quality. Some metals are …

This article reviews the different aspects of biochar as source and sink of organic and
inorganic contaminants. Biochar can contain organic contaminants such as polycyclic …

The ultimate goal of heavy metal contaminated soil remediation is to increase crop yields on
the premise of ensuring food production safety. Soil contaminated by heavy metals threatens …

The focus of this study is on the soil physicochemical, biological, and microbiological
processes altered by biochar application to heavy metal (HM) contaminated soils. The aim is …

This chapter provides information on the sorption of organic and inorganic pollutants on
biochar. Biochar addition to soil has significant effects on the removal of contaminants …

Biochar is a charcoal-like carbonized organic material, but unlike charcoal, it is added to
soils to improve their properties and to store carbon. It has received worldwide attention …
