To solve the problem of soil degradation in coastal saline–alkali land, three different types of biochar (rice straw biochar, magnetic biochar, and humic acid–magnetic biochar) were prepared to remedy the saline–alkali soil under different mixing ratios. The effects of biochar on the growth of crops in saline–alkali soil were explored through a pot experiment on Chinese cabbage. The experimental results showed that the soil leaching treatment combined with humic acid–magnetic biochar could effectively repair the coastal saline–alkali soil. After adding 5% humic acid–magnetic biochar, the content of soil organic matter was 33.95 g/kg, the water content was 13.85%, and the contents of available phosphorus and available potassium were 9.43 mg/kg and 29.51 mg/kg. After adding 5% humic acid–magnetic biochar, the plant height of Chinese cabbage was 9.16 ± 0.19 cm, and the plant germination rate reached 83.33 ± 5.54%. The incorporation of biochar could effectively increase the chlorophyll content and soluble protein content of pakchoi and reduce the soluble sugar content of pakchoi. The study analyzed the effect of different modified biochar on saline–alkali land restoration and crop growth and explored the action rule of hydrochloric acid magnetic biochar on saline–alkali land restoration, which has important practical value for improving coastal saline–alkali land.

“…Prolonged exposure to antibiotics may disturb the microbiome, leading to an imbalance in the entire microbial ecology and contributing to the emergence of ARB . Numerous studies reported that biochar exhibits the capacity to regulate the microbial communities and promote antibiotics biotransformation. , Oh et al mentioned that the microbial diversity and richness in the activated sludge system dramatically decreased when exposed to 1 mg/L of ciprofloxacin, while biochar addition (e. g., apple tree-derived, pear tree-derived, and mulberry tree-derived biochars) significantly reduced the ciprofloxacin toxicity on microorganisms. Biochar addition played a crucial role in sequestering ciprofloxacin, which in turn decreased the selective pressure and enabled a proactive increase in antibiotic tolerance .…”

The increasing use of antibiotics induces the spread of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in the environment, which seriously threatens the natural ecosystem and human health. Reducing antibiotics in the environment is of the utmost importance. Biochar, as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and carbon-rich porous material with circular economy prospects, has shown great potential in antibiotic remediation in the environment. The adsorption mechanisms (e.g., electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding interaction, hydrophobic interaction, π−π electron donor−acceptor (EDA) interaction, and pore diffusion) and the biotic roles (e.g., biochar as a microbial shelter, carrier, and electron mediator) synergistically promote antibiotic removal from the aqueous phase. This review critically discusses various removal mechanisms based on classes of antibiotics, the efficacy of biochar in antibiotics removal, and the influence of crucial parameters on the removal of antibiotics. Furthermore, the review provides a critical discussion on engineering the application of biochar. Finally, the review highlights the prospects and challenges of biochar application in treating antibiotic-contaminated liquid streams.

“…Han et al[45] found that amorphous silica in BC can interact with C atoms, which enhances the stability of the structure of BC and prevents it from being oxidized.Common biomass feedstocks for PBCs include peanut shells and coconut shells, etc. Hung et al [46] prepared metal-free coconut shell biochar for the activation of PMS for the degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics by thermochemical conversion at 700 °C, and the removal of contaminants was up to 80% under optimal conditions (30 min). In addition to Si, other mineral elements also contributed significantly to the activation of the BC/PS system.…”

With the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, refractory organic pollutants (ROPs) have been detected in various types of water environments, leading to increasingly serious environmental problems. Currently, persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) have received great attention due to their advantages such as short treatment time and high degradation efficiency. Biochar (BC), which comes from a wide range of sources and has significant catalytic activity, has been widely reported in PS activation studies in recent years. In this review, the main reaction pathways and the corresponding reaction mechanisms of ROPs degradation by PS-AOPs were firstly introduced. Then, the influencing factors and regulating means of BC performance in PS activation systems are systematically described, and different modification methods and principles are detailed. Finally, the author analyzes the current difficulties faced and puts forward an outlook on the future research direction. This paper aims to provide a reference for the development of controllable PS activation technology.
