In recent years, there has been a significant interest on biochar for various environmental
applications, eg, pollutants removal, carbon sequestration, and soil amelioration. Biochar …

Purpose Biochar, the by-product of thermal decomposition of organic materials in an oxygen-
limited environment, is increasingly being investigated due to its potential benefits for soil …

This review summarizes the influences of pyrolysis conditions and feedstock types on
biochar properties and how biochar properties in turn affect soil properties. Mechanistic …

The addition of biochar (BC) has been suggested to increase the soil fertility and crop
productivity of agricultural lands. This study evaluated the effect of different levels of BC on …

Thermal gasification of various biomass residues is a promising technology for combining
bioenergy production with soil fertility management through the application of the resulting …

Seven contrasting feedstocks were subjected to slow pyrolysis at low (300 or 350° C) and
high temperature (550 or 600° C), and both biochars and the corresponding feedstocks …

Pollution from potentially toxic metals (PTMs) is one of the most pressing global
environmental challenge with soaring human health concerns. It is now critical to seek out …

The addition of biochar to agricultural soils is recommended to improve soil functions and
plant growth. However, due to high variability in the quality of biochar, its effects on soils and …

Biochar is one of a series of materials referred to as black carbon because it is produced by
thermochemical transformation of the original biomass material under a variety of conditions …

Previous studies have reported positive, negative, or neutral effects on maize yield by the
application of biochar and/or compost in the presence or absence of inorganic fertilization …
