The Special Issue of BIOCHAR intends to demonstrate the latest developments in the fabrications and applications of functionalized biochar to remediate soils and waters contaminated with emerging inorganic pollutants (EIPs) towards sustainable development, which are beneficial to achieving several goals of th...
Biochar, a carbon-based material, derived from biowaste is a one-step solution to the existing environmental issues, like degraded water quality, air pollution, soil pollution and global warming. Biochar is a sustainable, carbon-rich, low-cost, solid by-product of biomass. In the present ...
The swift advancement of sustainable energy technologies, coupled with the urgent need to address environmental challenges, has generated considerable inte

Biocharis a promising multifunctional adsorbent for water and wastewater treatment. However, some challenges have still to be overcome towards wider uses of biochars, including complex wastewater treatment, regeneration and reuse, as well as repeatability and reproducibility of biochar. In addition, adsorp...
(Cd) in contaminated paddy soils. However, the synergistic effects between biochar and SNZVI on Cd immobilization, as well as the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, a soil microcosm incubation experiment was performed to investigate the immobilization performance of SNZVI/BC towards Cd in...
Calculation of the qCO2 for the final sampling at week 32, when both biomass-C and respiration data are available, suggested a trend towards greater C-use efficiency of the ADF 2 than that of the ADF 1 and ADF 3 treated soils since the quotient was lower, but not significantly so (P ...
Our research underlines a strong link to societal needs and real-life environmental challenges. We endeavor to advance our fundamental knowledge and develop net-zero technologies striving towards Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We conduct interdisciplinary research and foster know...
According to previous research, biochar is very suitable as adsorbents in environment management over adsorption processes16,17; and has been used for the removal of pollutants from soil or water for decades. However, the studies about immobilizing laccase on biochar have been seldom reported. As ...
