Most agricultural soils in sub-Saharan Africa are degraded, compromising the grain yield of rice and farmers return on investment. A 3-year field study was undertaken to explore the effect of the application of compost or inorganic NPK fertilizer applied alone or in combination with biochar on soil...

We have had little understanding on the effects of different types and quantities of biochar amendment on soil N transformation process and the microbial properties. In this study, various biochars were produced from straw residues and wood chips, and then added separately to a paddy soil at rates o...

This review highlights the multifunctional applications, recent trends, and technological advancements of biochar (BC), a carbon-rich material produced through biomass pyrolysis. BC has emerged as a promising solution to environmental and agricultural challenges. The manuscript examines key producti...

Biochar soil amendments are a promising strategy for long-term carbon dioxide removal due to their high aromaticity and low decay rate. While complete degradation of biochar was formerly investigated by CO2 measurements and found to be negligible, we are focusing now at potential biochar metabolites...

Pot experiments were conducted in a glasshouse to determine the growth pattern of lettuce, true potato seedlings (TPS) and single node cuttings of TPS in response to biochar. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 5 treatments (0, 10, 30, 50 and 100 t ha−1) of biocha...

Lettuce is very popular in the Russian consumer market. Special conditions for its cultivation determine the need to select modern, inexpensive elements of agro-technology that promote high yields. At present biochar (bio-coal) is considered as a promising organic fertilizer. Its main difference lie...

Cadmium (Cd) pollution in rice and selenium (Se) deficiency in humans have attracted widespread attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of the combined application of biological nanoselenium (B-SeNPs) foliar spray and biochar (BC) on Se enrichment and Cd content reduction in rice. A po...

Biochar is increasingly proposed as a soil amendment, with reports of benefits to soil physical, chemical and biological properties. In this study, different biochars were produced from 6 feedstocks, including straw and poultry manure, at 3 pyrolysis temperatures (200, 300 and 500°C) and then added...

Biochar can potentially provide better conditions in the soil to increase plant growth. However, research has shown that weed species show minimal changes in germination and emergence patterns with the addition of biochar. Regardless, if biochar is used in the field it is important to monitor for c...

Biochar (BC) derived from waste products is a cost-effective sorbent for remediation of metal-contaminated soils. We studied the kinetics and adsorption mechanisms for removal of metal ions, such as lead (Pb2+) and cadmium (Cd2+) with biochar. The adsorption capacities of BC for Pb2+ and Cd2+ increa...

Macroalgal biochars were produced from Sargassum fusiforme, Sargassum thunbergii, Sargassum vachellianum, Grateloupia turuturu, Chondria crassicaulis and Ulva pertusa at different pyrolysis temperatures (200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 ℃) under limited-oxygen conditions. The effects of pyrolysis temperat...

Ultisol has a texture with a high clay content and a medium to high bulk density so it is susceptible to increasing soil compaction. High soil compaction indicates physical soil problems and inhibits plant growth. The application of soil amendments such as biochar and mycorrhiza can help be help imp...

Abstract One of the alternatives for reducing carbon emissions in the steel industry is the use of bio-coals. However, the use of biomass and its derivatives in steelmaking processes presents technical challenges due to their different chemical and physical characteristics to fossil fuels. In this c...

Biochar (BC) is a carbon-rich product obtained when biomass is thermally decomposed at relatively low temperatures (under 700ºC) and limited supply of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Because of its porous structure, charged surface and surface functional groups, BC exhibits a great potential a...

The MAP process involved placing acid-pretreated biomass (CPH) in a domestic microwave oven at 600 W for 15 min. This was followed by a doping process with iron salts (+2, +3) to obtain BCCPH-Fe. Characterization of BCCPH-Fe was carried out using surface analysis (BET), TGA analysis and FTIR. Subseq...

Drought and salinity intrusion have been constraints on sugarcane production in coastal areas. Improving water and nutrient uptake and reducing sodium chloride accumulation by applying biochar could be an effective way to solve the problem. A pot experiment was done following a Split-plot design wit...
