A review of biochar-based sorbents for separation of heavy metals from water

International Journal of Phytoremediation, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 22(2), P. 111 - 126

Published: Nov. 5, 2019

Biochar is the low-cost and environmental-friendly material which has shown a great potential for separation of heavy metals from water. The previous studies have established superior role biochar over other materials, such as activated carbon inorganic sorbents (iron based) in efficient removal toxic aqueous systems. Among various factors influencing sorption ability biochar, types feedstock/biomass pyrolysis temperature play significant role. goal this review to increase our understanding behavior by biochars - important driven based on type, species involve numerous mechanisms, including physical binding, complexation, ion exchange, surface precipitation electrostatic interactions. In addition, paper describes approaches improve metal capacity steam acids/bases activations impregnation biochar-based composites with minerals, organic compounds carbon-rich materials. physical/chemical activation can area, thus leading their improved functionality, while modification/pretreatment methods help synthesizing using supporting media develop new attributes solutions.

Irrigation Induced Salinity and Sodicity Hazards on Soil and Groundwater: An Overview of Its Causes, Impacts and Mitigation Strategies

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 11(10), P. 983 - 983

Published: Oct. 9, 2021

Salinity and sodicity have been a major environmental hazard of the past century since more than 25% total land 33% irrigated globally are affected by salinity sodicity. Adverse effects soil include inhibited crop growth, waterlogging issues, groundwater contamination, loss in fertility other associated secondary impacts on dependent ecosystems. also an enormous impact food security substantial portion world’s is them. While intrinsic nature could cause sodicity, developing countries, they primarily caused unsustainable irrigation practices, such as using high volumes fertilizers, irrigating with saline/sodic water lack adequate drainage facilities to drain surplus water. This has irreversible contamination many regions. Although several remediation techniques developed, comprehensive reclamation still remains challenging often time resource inefficient. Mitigating risk while continuing irrigate land, for example, growing salt-resistant crops halophytes together regular or creating artificial appears be most practical solution farmers cannot halt irrigation. The purpose this review highlight global prevalence areas, their spatiotemporal variability causes, document induced physicochemical properties groundwater, discuss practical, innovative, feasible practices solutions mitigate hazards groundwater.

A perspective on biochar for repairing damages in the soil–plant system caused by climate change-driven extreme weather events

Biochar, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 4(1)

Published: March 24, 2022

Abstract There has been more than 75% rise in the number of extreme weather events such as drought and flood during 2000–2019 compared to 1980–1999 due adverse effects climate change, causing significant deterioration soil water quality. Simultaneously, growing human population exerting pressure on available resources overuse or unplanned use. While greenhouse gas emissions have intensified, fertility agricultural soils declined globally exposure frequent flooding, desertification, salinization (resulting from events). The current review aims give an overview damages caused soil–plant system by provide a perspective how biochar can repair damaged system. Biochar is known improve fertility, increase crop productivity mitigate via sustainable recycling bio-waste. Beneficial properties alkaline pH, high cation exchange capacity, abundant surface functional groups, remarkable area, adequate porosity, excellent holding sufficient nutrient retention capacity help This paper recommends some cautious future approaches that propel biochar’s use improving systems promoting functioning weather-affected areas mitigation effects.

Published: Jan. 8, 2024

Rapid urban expansion and a booming population are placing immense pressure on our agricultural systems, leading to detrimental impacts soil fertility overall health. Due the extensive use of agrochemicals in agriculture, necessity meet expanding demand for food has also resulted unsustainable farming practices. Around world, biochar, multipurpose carbonaceous material, is being used concurrently solve issues with enhancing fertility, plant growth, development under both normal stressful circumstances. It improves water retention, fosters nutrient absorption, promotes microbial activity, creating fertile environment that supports sustainable resilient agriculture. Additionally, biochar acts as carbon sink, contributing long-term sequestration mitigating climate change impacts. The major benefit it helps adsorption process its highly porous structures different functional groups. Understanding elements involved formation determine characteristics adsorptive capacity necessary assure viability terms productivity health, particularly biological activity soil.
