“…However, the surface area of cellulose-based char was much higher than leaf-based char, indicating that surface area of material was likely not the dominant factor controlling CEC. Khawmee et al (Khawmee et al, 2013) and Basak et al(Basak et al, 2020) showed that the CEC of a material was highly correlated with its metal content, oxygenated functional groups, Lewis acid and base sites, which may be consistent with the results of this work.…”

Composite mineral-biochars of a homogeneous biomass (cellulose) and heterogeneous biomass (oak leaves) were fabricated with either 5wt% or 10wt% minerals (montmorillonite (MMT), kaolinite, and sand), and then pyrolyzed at 600 °C for 60 min. Characterizations including proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, surface area and porosity, morphology and surface chemistry confirmed that minerals were present on the surface of biochar, and MMT/kaolinite-biochar composites showed a strengthening in the chars' aromatic structures, as well as increases in oxygencontaining surface functional groups. Methylene blue adsorption isotherms indicated that the MMT/kaolinite-biochars had higher adsorption capacities than pure biomass or biomass-sand biochars (110 mgMB/gchar and 24 mgMB/gchar for MMT-cellulose char and cellulose char, respectively). A multilinear model relating adsorption capacity and adsorbent properties was developed to measure the relative contribution of biochar properties to adsorption behavior. The model indicates that pore volume and hydrogen

“…Biochar produces several functional groups on the surface, including carboxylic and phenolic groups which can result in high CEC (Diatta et al, 2020). Increase in CEC of weathered tropical soil could enhance nutrient retention and availability by reducing nutrient losses through leaching (Basak et al, 2021). Several studies reported the positive contribution of biochar on soil CEC of weathered tropical soils (Table 2).…”

“…The application of biochar is known to improve the quality of agricultural soils of the tropics (Jeffery et al, 2017). However, low nutrient content and high requirement of biochar (Hossain et al, 2020;Saha et al, 2019) had challenged the scientific community for the development of lowcost, nutrient-rich and environmentally friendly mineral-enriched biochar for sustainable crop production and soil quality improvement (Ye et al, 2016;Hossain et al, 2020;Basak et al, 2021).…”

“…The mineral enrichment of biochar could lead to the formation of biochar-mineral complexes or composites (BMC), which results in the improvement of physicochemical properties and stability of the biochar (Chia et al, 2014;Ashiq et al, 2019;Basak et al, 2021). For example, the production of mineral-enriched biochar had brought a tremendous alteration in the nutrient composition, and increased SSA, pore-volume, pore structure, thermal stability, pH, CEC and EC of the final product (Basak et al, 2021;Abriz and Golezani, 2021). The BMC also showed an increased aromaticity, surface functional groups and nutrient contents (Lin et al, 2013;Ye et al, 2016).…”

“…There is increasing interest in soil amendments, such as biochar (BC) and compost (Co) for the sustainable production of high-value medicinal plants and crops (Basak et al, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Nigam et al, 2021 ). BC is a recalcitrant, black carbonaceous, porous, and low-density material produced by the pyrolysis of various biological residues, such as crop residue, wood waste, manure, food waste, forest residue, and sewage sludge (Wang et al, 2020 ).…”

Biochar, Compost, and Biochar–Compost Blend Applications Modulate Growth, Photosynthesis, Osmolytes, and Antioxidant System of Medicinal Plant Alpinia zerumbet

Alpinia zerumbet (Zingiberaceae) is a unique ornamental and medicinal plant primarily used in food ingredients and traditional medicine. While organic amendments such as biochar (BC) and compost (Co) have been demonstrated to improve plant productivity, no studies have examined their effects on the growth, physiology, and secondary metabolites of A. zerumbet. This study evaluated the impact of the amendment of BC, Co, or a biochar and compost mixture (BC+Co) on modifying and improving the growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant status, and secondary metabolism of A. zerumbet grown on sandy loam soil. The morpho-physiological and biochemical investigation revealed variation in the response of A. zerumbet to organic amendments. The amendment of BC and BC+Co significantly increased net photosynthetic rates of plants by more than 28%, chlorophyll a and b contents by 92 and 78%, respectively, and carboxylation efficiency by 50% compared with those grown in the sandy loam soil without amendment. Furthermore, the amendment significantly decreased plant oxidative stress, measured as leaf free proline and glycine betaine. Enzymatic antioxidant activity, total phenols, and flavonoids also varied in their response to the organic amendments. In conclusion, this study shows that BC and/or Co amendments are an efficient and sustainable method for improving the metabolite contents and reducing oxidative stress in A. zerumbet.
