Currently, the research and application of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal
contaminated soil has become a hotspot, especially regarding the remediation of …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the main pollutants in paddy fields, and its accumulation in rice
(Oryza sativa L.) and subsequent transfer to food chain is a global environmental issue. This …

The fates of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in paddy fields are generally opposite; thus, the
inconsistent transformation of Cd and As poses large challenges for their remediation. In this …

The application of biochars for the remediation of water and soils contaminated with
potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has seen a recent growing interest. The mechanisms of …

Trace elements (TEs) contamination is one of the main abiotic stresses which limit plant
growth and deteriorate the food quality by their entry into food chain. In recent, biochar (BC) …

A number of anthropogenic and weathering activities accumulate heavy metals in soils,
causing adverse effects on soil characteristics, microbial activity (diversity), agricultural …

Cadmium contamination in waters and soils can lead to food chain accumulation and
ultimately deterioration in human health; means for reducing bioavailable Cd are …

The use of modified biochar for the remediation of heavy metal (HM) has received much
attention. However, the immobilization mechanism of biochar to multiple HMs and the …

Purpose Previous studies show that application of biochar can reduce the bioavailability of
heavy metals in soil. A plant growth experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of …

Heavy metal contamination of agricultural soils has posed a risk to environment and human
health. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of soil amendments for …
