Wood char is an important source of environmental black carbon that affects the fate of
organic contaminants in soils and sediments and plays a role in carbon cycling. Currently …

Converting lignocellulosic municipal waste to biochar represents a carbon sequestration
mechanism and a production route that diverts potentially useful feedstocks from landfills. In …

Bio-char by-products from fast wood/bark pyrolyses, were investigated as adsorbents for the
removal of the toxic metals (As3+, Cd2+, Pb2+) from water. Oak bark, pine bark, oak wood …

The residues remaining after incomplete combustion of vegetation (char) can contribute
significantly to the carbon content of soils. Char C is considered biologically inert relative to …

Chars intended for use as soil amendment (“biochars”) vary greatly in their chemical and
physical properties. In the present study, 19 Canadian temperate wood feedstocks were …

Chars originating from the burning or pyrolysis of vegetation may significantly sorb neutral
organic contaminants (NOCs). To evaluate the relationship between the char composition …

Char is ubiquitous in the environment and contributes significantly to the inert soil organic
carbon pool. Its roles as a carbon sink and a strong sorbent of organic contaminants have …

Chars from wildfires and soil amendments (biochars) are strong adsorbents that can impact
the fate of organic compounds in soil, yet the effects of solute and adsorbent properties on …

Biochar, a solid byproduct generated during waste biomass pyrolysis or gasification in the
absence (or near-absence) of oxygen, has recently garnered interest for both agricultural …

Biomass pyrolysis to produce biofuel and hydrogen yields large amounts of charred
byproducts with low commercial value. A study was conducted to evaluate their potential for …
