“…In agreement with the alkaline pH (H 2 O) of manure derived biochars Zhang et al 2013), the faecal matter biochar had a pH (H 2 O) of 8.23 (Additional file 1: Table S1). Faecal matter biochar also had low EC value (0.34 dS/m), whereas, biochar produced from poultry litter exhibited high EC value .…”

“…Faecal matter biochar also had low EC value (0.34 dS/m), whereas, biochar produced from poultry litter exhibited high EC value . These were expected considering the high ash content in manure derived biochars Zhang et al 2013;Qiu et al 2014). Unlike the typical feature of plant based biochars, very high concentration of total C and very low total N concentration Qiu et al 2014;Woldetsadik et al 2016), faecal matter biochar had very low concentration of total C (Additional file 1: Table S1).…”

Effect of biochar derived from faecal matter on yield and nutrient content of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in two contrasting soils

Background: Faecal matter biochar offers an interesting value proposition where the pyrolysis process guaranties a 100% pathogen elimination, as well as significant reduction in transport and storage weight and volume. Therefore, to evaluate the effect of (1) biochar produced from dried faecal matter from household based septic tanks, and (2) N fertilizer, as well as their interaction on yield and nutrient status of lettuce (Lactuca sativa), lettuce was grown over two growing cycles under glasshouse on two contrasting soils amended once at the start with factorial combination of faecal matter biochar at four rates (0, 10, 20 and 30 t ha ) with 0, 25 and 50 kg N ha −1 in randomized complete block design.Results: For both soils, maximum fresh yields were recorded with biochar and combined application of biochar with N treatments. However, the greatest biochar addition effects (with or without N) with regard to relative yield were seen in less fertile sandy loam soil. We have also observed that faecal matter biochar application resulted in noticeable positive residual effects on lettuce yield and tissue nutrient concentrations in the 2nd growing cycle. For both soils, most nutrients analyzed (N, P, K, Mg, Cu and Zn) were within or marginally above optimum ranges for lettuce under biochar amendment. Conclusions:The application of faecal matter biochar enhances yield and tissue nutrient concentrations of lettuce in two contrasting soils, suggesting that faecal matter biochar could be used as an effective fertilizer for lettuce production at least for two growing cycles. Moreover, the conversion of the faecal matter feedstock into charred product may offer additional waste management benefit as it offers an additional (microbiologically safe) product compared to the more common co-composting.

“…The adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons onto pure charcoal was about 10-1000 times stronger than the adsorption onto organic carbon in soils and sediments (Accardi-Dey and Gschwend 2002). Soils amended with biochar were also found to be particularly effective at enhancing soil adsorption of organic contaminants and thus reduce the bioavailability, leaching risk, and plant uptake of those contaminants (Kookana et al 2011;Sheng et al 2005;Wang et al 2010a;Zhang et al 2010;Zhang et al 2012;Sopeña et al 2012). Therefore, biochar and other types of organic matter are useful materials to consider when designing phthalic acid ester immobilization technologies for the reduction of phthalic acid ester bioavailability ).…”

Phthalic acid esters have been used as plasticizers in numerous products and classified as endocrine-disrupting compounds. As China is one of the largest consumers of phthalic acid esters, some human activities may lead to the accumulation of phthalic acid esters in soil and result in contamination. Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand the current contamination status and to identify appropriate remediation technologies. Here, we reviewed the potential sources, distribution, and contamination status of phthalic acid esters in soil. We then described the ecological effect and human risk of phthalic acid esters and finally provided technologies to remediate phthalic acid esters. We found that (1) the application of plastic agricultural films, municipal biosolids, agricultural chemicals, and wastewater irrigation have been identified as the main sources for phthalic acid ester contamination in agricultural soil; (2) the distribution of phthalic acid esters in soils is determined by factors such as anthropogenic behaviors, soil type, properties of phthalic acid esters, seasonal variation, etc.; (3) the concentrations of phthalic acid esters in soil in most regions of China are exceeding the recommended values of soil cleanup guidelines used by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), causing phthalic acid ester in soils to contaminate vegetables; (4) phthalic acid esters are toxic to soil microbes and enzymes; and (5) phthalic acid ester-contaminated soil can be remedied by degradation, phytoremediation, and adsorption.

“…Ash is known to be an important factor to influence the sorption behavior of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs). Some organic sorption sites in BC can be blocked by ash or become difficult to access due to their interactions with inorganic moieties (Zhang et al 2013). As the charring temperature increased, the ash content of BC also increased, e.g., 5.03% for cassava waste and 30.56% for MS750.…”

Biochar (BC) is a carbonaceous and porous product generated from the incomplete combustion of biomass and has been recognized as an efficient adsorbent. This study evaluated the ability of BC to sorb atrazine pesticide in tropical soil, and explored potential environmental values of BC on mitigating organic micro-pollutants. BC was produced from cassava waste via pyrolyzation under oxygen-limiting conditions at 350, 550, and 750 °C (MS350, MS550, and MS750, respectively). Three biochars were characterized and investigated as sorbents for the removal atrazine from tropical soil. BC pyrolyzed at higher temperatures more quickly reached equilibrium. The pseudo-second-order model perfectly simulated the sorption kinetics for atrazine with the coefficients R 2 above 0.996, and the sorption amount at equilibrium (qe) was 0.016 mg/g for MS350, 0.025 mg/g for MS550 and 0.050 mg/g for MS750. The isotherms of MS350 displayed relatively linear behavior, whereas the sorption of atrazine on MS550 and MS750 followed a nonlinear isotherm. The sorption data were well described by the Freundlich model with logKF of 0.476 for MS350, 0.771 for MS550, 1.865 for MS750. A thermodynamic study indicated that the sorption of atrazine in BC-added soil was a spontaneous and endothermic process and was primarily controlled by physisorption. In addition, lower pH was conducive to the sorption of atrazine in BC-added soil.
