Engineered Black Carbon Pertinence for Environmental Remediation

Abstract

It is acknowledged that biochar is a considerable tool for soil prolificacy and seclusion of carbon. Water bodies affected by toxins can be treated with biochar, which acts as a good adsorbent. It is necessary to perceive its physical and chemical properties, which are firmly associated to the kind of feed stock and environment, is important to detect the purposeful biochar employment in soil. In order to make an effective use of biochar as a soil amendment, biochar is prepared by pyrolysis of different types of agricultural wastes at different temperatures (300, 400, and 500). Biochars produced at elevated temperatures gives good results for adsorption compared to the biochar produced at low temperatures. The components present on the biochar surface determine its contaminant removal capacity.
