Abstract In the context of climate change and circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile recycled material. Here, we review application biochar-based for carbon sink, covering agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, environmental remediation, construction, energy storage. The ultimate storage reservoirs are soils, civil infrastructure, landfills. Biochar-based fertilisers, which combine traditional fertilisers with nutrient carrier, promising agronomy. use feed additive animals shows benefits terms growth, gut microbiota, reduced enteric methane production, egg yield, endo-toxicant mitigation. Biochar enhances digestion operations, primarily biogas generation upgrading, performance sustainability, mitigation inhibitory impurities. composts, controls release greenhouse gases microbial activity. Co-composted improves soil properties crop productivity. Pristine engineered can also be employed water remediation to remove pollutants. added cement or asphalt, thus conferring structural functional advantages. Incorporating biocomposites insulation, electromagnetic radiation protection moisture control. Finally, synthesising materials requires additional functionalisation.

Hydrochar-Facilitated Anaerobic Digestion: Evidence for Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer Mediated through Surface Oxygen-Containing Functional Groups

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 54(9), С. 5755 - 5766

Acceleration of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process is crucial to achieving energy-efficient recycling organic wastes. Hydrochar produced by hydrothermal liquefaction biomass, yet its application in AD rarely reported. The present study showed that sewage sludge-derived hydrochar (SH) enhanced methane production rate glucose 37%. SH increased from acetate but did not affect acidification and H2/CO2. hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis, which could be due direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) converting H+, e–, CO2 methane. Trichococcus Methanosaeta were dominant with SH. Label-free proteomic analysis was involved DIET as reflected up-regulation proteins methanogenesis. Hydrochars derived corn straw (CH), Enteromorpha algae (EH), poplar wood (PH), well activated carbon (AC), also tested process. SH, CH, EH obviously rates, 39%, 15%, 20% higher than control experiment, respectively. It neither electrical conductivity nor total redox property hydrochars AC abundances surface oxygen-containing functional groups correlated rates.
