This review focuses on a holistic view of biochar, production from feedstock's, engineering
production strategies, its applications and future prospects. This article reveals a systematic …

Large-size woody biomass is a valuable renewable resource to replace fossil fuels in
biorefinery processes. The preprocessing of wood chips and briquettes is challenging to …

The continuous rise in global temperatures is an evidence of climate change. CO 2
emissions have caused major problems owing to its contribution to climate change. In …

Biochar can significantly alter water relations in soil and therefore, can play an important part
in increasing the resilience of agricultural systems to drought conditions. To enable …

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 …

Biochar, a carbonaceous material with engineering potential, has gained attention as an
efficient catalyst in persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs). Although …

Background Biochar-based fertilizer products (BCF) have been reported to increase both
crop yield and N-use efficiency. Such positive effects are often assumed to result from the …

Soil physical properties are potentially affected by the addition of biochar. The effect is
largely determined by the pore characteristics of biochar, especially the biochar's feedstocks …

Crop residues are a major component of lignocellulosic biomass waste generated from the
agriculture sector. Improper management of these wastes pollutes the environment …

Addition of biochar into a soil changes its water retention properties by modifying soil
textural and structural properties. In addition, internal micrometer-scale porosity that is able …
