Biochar physicochemical properties: pyrolysis temperature and feedstock kind effects

Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 19(1), P. 191 - 215

Published: Feb. 5, 2020

Abstract Biochar is a pyrogenous, organic material synthesized through pyrolysis of different biomass (plant or animal waste). The potential biochar applications include: (1) pollution remediation due to high CEC and specific surface area; (2) soil fertility improvement on the way liming effect, enrichment in volatile matter increase pore volume, (3) carbon sequestration ash content, etc. properties are affected by several technological parameters, mainly temperature feedstock kind, which differentiation can lead products with wide range values pH, area, CEC, matter, content. High promotes production strongly developed porosity, pH as well content carbon, but low matter. This most likely significant degree decomposition. Biochars produced from litter solid waste feedstocks exhibit lower areas, compared biochars crop residue wood biomass, even at higher temperatures. reason for this difference considerable variation lignin cellulose moisture biomass. physicochemical determine application biomaterial an additive improve quality. review succinctly presents impact type characteristics its fertility.

Black Carbon (Biochar) In Water/Soil Environments: Molecular Structure, Sorption, Stability, and Potential Risk

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 51(23), P. 13517 - 13532

Published: Nov. 8, 2017

Black carbon (BC) is ubiquitous in the environments and participates various biogeochemical processes. Both positive negative effects of BC (especially biochar) on ecosystem have been identified, which are mainly derived from its diverse physicochemical properties. Nevertheless, few studies systematically examined linkage between evolution molecular structure with resulted properties, environmental functions as well potential risk, critical for understanding behavior utilization a multifunctional product. Thus, this review highlights during pyrolysis impact properties sorption behavior, stability, risk terrestrial aqueous ecosystems. Given wide application important role processes, future research should focus following: (1) establishing methodology to more precisely predict design basis phase transformation biomass; (2) developing an assessment system evaluate long-term effect stabilization bioavailability contaminants, agrochemicals, nutrient elements soils; (3) elucidating interaction mechanisms plant roots, microorganisms, soil components.

The emission of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural soils endangers natural habitats. Here, we review to which extent carbon-rich organic amendments help retain in reduce the contamination surrounding areas groundwater. We compare straw, compost, biochar see whether outperforms other two more traditional cheaper materials. present a list criteria evaluate suitability materials be used as soil discuss differences elemental compositions understand, how microorganisms utilize those their effects on physical chemical characteristics, microbial communities, well transformation retention detail. It becomes clear that for all three can vary greatly depending numerous aspects, such type soil, application rate, production procedure material. Biochar is most effective increasing sorption capacity but does not outperform straw compost with regards aspects investigated. Nevertheless, possibility design properties makes it very promising Finally, provide critical comments about make studies comparable (comprehensive provision material properties), improve concepts future work (meta-analysis, long-term field studies, use deep-insight DNA sequencing), what needs further investigated (the link between structural functional parameters, impact pesticide efficiency).
