“…Due to its highly porous structure and large surface area [6], biochar positively affects soil water and nutrient retention, soil water holding capacity and the water available to plants [4,[7][8][9]. Biochar has also gained attention as a potential solution for sequestering carbon in soils [10], binding contaminants [11] and mitigating climate change [12]. The effects of biochar, when added to soil, can vary depending on the type and characteristics of the feedstock, the conditions of pyrolysis, the type of soil and the rate of application [13].…”

The application of biochar to agricultural soils has been proven to have many advantages, including the improvement of soil water holding capacity and plant growth, particularly under limiting conditions of water supply. The response of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) to water shortage occurring during the vegetative growth stages is not well known. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of three wood chip biochar rates (0%, 2% and 4%) and two water regimes (100 and 50% evapotranspiration losses restitution) on the vegetative development and water status of quinoa (cultivar Titicaca). The results showed that the treatment with 2% wood chip biochar improved plant height, leaf and branch number and stem diameter during the vegetative growing cycle compared to the 0% (control) and 4% biochar treatments, which were not different from each other. At the end of the experiment, when the plants were at the flowering initiation stage, increases of 23% in leaf area, 22% in fresh biomass, 27% in main panicle length and 36% in sub-panicle number were observed. The application of woody biochar at a 4% rate, although improving the plant water status with increases of 10% in RWC and 18% in Ψ, did not enhance the vegetative development of the quinoa. The water shortage negatively affected both the growth performance and plant water status. The best growth response of quinoa was observed only when the plants were treated with a 2% biochar rate and were fully irrigated.

“…Biochar has also shown good performance in a number of areas, such as fertility improvement, nutrient retention, enhancement in microbial activity, and pollutant immobilization. It has been shown that biochar can inhibit the uptake of toxic metals and increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes to effectively improve soil quality and plant physiological properties [23]. Biochar is also able to promote the growth of native microorganisms by neutralizing pH and providing nutrient support [24].…”

The remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soils has received much attention in recent years, and most of the contaminated sites are in anaerobic environments, such as deep soils and flooded soils. We simulated the natural flooded soil environment, selected phenanthrene (PHE) as a model PAH contaminant, and designed batch experiments run for 63 days to comprehensively investigate the effects of the combined addition of anaerobic sludge and granular biochar on microbial community and function and the anaerobic biodegradation of PHE. Firstly, the residue, distribution, and removal of PHE in the flooded soil environment were quantified for each group. Secondly, the effects of bioaugmentation of soil indigenous microorganisms by the addition of anaerobic activated sludge and biostimulation of biochar on the removal of PHE from the soil were analyzed against each other. Lastly, the changes in the structure of the microbial community under the effect of bioaugmentation and biostimulation were illustrated by sequencing analyses. The results of this study showed that the removal efficiency of PHE reached 72.0% after the addition of anaerobic activated sludge. The incorporation of anaerobic activated sludge and biochar resulted in a 25.3% increase in PHE removal compared to a single soil, suggesting that the combination of bioaugmentation and biostimulation can have a synergistic effect on the anaerobic biodegradation of PHE in contaminated soils. The results of sequencing analysis further indicated that the introduction of an exogenous microbial community changed the dominant genera associated with PHE degradation and introduced methanogenic archaea, which enriched the metabolic pathways of the carbon cycle in the system. On this basis, the addition of biochar resulted in higher anaerobic microbial community diversity, functional dominant species were enriched, and the direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) process between electroactive bacteria (Bacteroides, f_Geobacteraceae) and Methanosaeta was facilitated, which accelerated the degradation of PHE by anaerobic microbial communities. The results of this study provide regulatory tools and basic data support for enhanced bioremediation of PAHs in flooded soils.

“…Among these, pyrolysis stands out as the most cost-effective method because of the versatility of its by-products (e.g., bio-oil, biochar, and syngas) [29]. Traditionally, biochar is utilized to remove toxic metal ions (e.g., Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ ) from the water [30][31][32]. However, In recent decades, biochar has been utilized to remove dyes from the water.…”

In the information contained herein, we fabricated biochar by means of a pyrolysis process; it used Prosopis juliflora waste (PJW) as a biomass source. The physical and chemical material characterization was carried out through FTIR, thermogravimetric, BET-N2 isotherm, and SEM-EDX assays. We studied the methylene orange (MO) adsorption onto PWJ biochar. The PJW biochar displayed a maximum percentage of MO removal of 64%. The results of the adsorption study indicated that Temkin isotherm was suitable to describe the MO adsorption process on PJW biochar; it suggests that the MO adsorption on PJW biochar could be a multi-layer adsorption process. Results showed that the pseudo-second-order model was accurate in demonstrating the MO adsorption on PJW (k2 = 0.295 g mg−1min−1; qe = 8.31 mg g−1). Furthermore, the results made known that the MO removal by PJW biochar was endothermic (ΔH = 12.7 kJ/mol) and a spontaneous process (ΔG = −0.954 kJ/mol). The reusability test disclosed that after four consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles, the PWJ biochar reduced its MO removal by only 4.3%.
