Quantification of the effect of biochar application on heavy metals in paddy systems: Impact, mechanisms and future prospects. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168874. [PMID: 38029988 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Biochar (BC) has shown great potential in remediating heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) contamination in paddy fields. Variation in feedstock sources, pyrolysis temperatures, modification methods, and application rates of BC can result in great changes in its effects on HM bioavailability and bioaccumulation in soil-rice systems and remediation mechanisms. Meanwhile, there is a lack of application guidelines for BC with specific properties and application rates when targeting rice fields contaminated with certain HMs. To elucidate this topic, this review focuses on i) the effects of feedstock type, pyrolysis temperature, and modification method on the properties of BC; ii) the changes in bioavailability and bioaccumulation of HMs in soil-rice systems applying BC with different feedstocks, pyrolysis temperatures, modification methods, and application rates; and iii) exploration of potential remediation mechanisms for applying BC to reduce the mobility and bioaccumulation of HMs in rice field systems. In general, the application of Fe/Mn modified organic waste (OW) derived BC for mid-temperature pyrolysis is still a well-optimized choice for the remediation of HM contamination in rice fields. From the viewpoint of remediation efficiency, the application rate of BC should be appropriately increased to immobilize Cd, Pb, and Cu in rice paddies, while the application rate of BC for immobilizing As should be <2.0 % (w/w). The mechanism of remediation of HM-contaminated rice fields by applying BC is mainly the direct adsorption of HMs by BC in soil pore water and the mediation of soil microenvironmental changes. In addition, the application of Fe/Mn modified BC induced the formation of iron plaque (IP) on the root surface of rice, which reduced the uptake of HM by the plant. Finally, this paper describes the prospects and challenges for the extension of various BCs for the remediation of HM contamination in paddy fields and makes some suggestions for future development.

Utilization of agricultural residues for energy and resource recovery towards a sustainable environment. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-29500-x. [PMID: 37667121 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29500-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
Fungal pre-treatment using Pleurotus ostreatus (PO) was carried out on individual and combinations of agro-waste wheat straw (WS), rice straw (RS), and pearl millet straw (PMS) with the addition of biochar (5%,7.5% and 10%) to reduce the pre-treatment duration. Further remaining substrate known as spent mushroom substrate (SMS) was used in anaerobic digestor (AD) for estimation enhanced biomethane yield. Equal ratios of RS + WS, WS + PMS, PMS + RS, and RS + PMS + WS and biochar addition were taken for enhancing pre-treatment, PO growth and AD process. The extent of pre-treatment was recorded with the maximum lignin removal of 40.4% for RS + PMS + WS as compared to untreated counterparts and 0.5%, 2.2%, and 3.3% times more lignin removal from individual PMS, RS, and WS respectively. Addition of biochar to the substrates reduced the total pre-treatment duration by days as compared to the non-biochar substrates. Biological efficiency (BE) used for the analysis of mushroom growth varied from 51-92%. Further, the average bio-methane yield was 187 ml/gVS for SMS of PMS + WS + RS with 10% biochar indicating an increment of 83.33% from untreated SMS of PMS + WS + RS. This, higher biomethane yield was 9.35%, 22.22% and 57.14% times higher than individual SMS of PMS, RS, and WS respectively. The current study shows that biochar not only enhances the bio-methane yield but also reduces the biological pre-treatment duration and removes the dependency on one lignocellulosic biomass for energy (bio-methane) and food (mushroom) production.

Zhang Y, Hu J, Cheng X, Tahir MH. Pyrolysis characteristics, kinetics, and biochar of fermented pine sawdust-based waste. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:39994-40007. [PMID: 36602730 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-25084-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The objective of current study is to explore the energy recovery potential of fermentation residues. In this perspective, pyrolysis characteristics, kinetics, and modified biochar derived from pine sawdust after fermentation (FPD) were determined, and comparison was established with pine sawdust (PD). The variation range of comprehensive pyrolysis index (CPI) values of FPD was found 6.51 × 10-7-16.38 × 10-7%2·min-2·°C-3, significantly higher than that of untreated samples determined under the same experimental conditions. The average activation energy of FPD was 367.95 kJ/mol, 389.45 kJ/mol, and 346.55 kJ/mol calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method, Kissinger-Akahira-Sonuse (KAS), and Starink method respectively, and importantly, these values are much higher than those of PD. Additionally, fermentation could enhance the adsorption capacity for methylene blue of biochar from 0.76 mg/g to 1.6 mg/g due to the abundant surface functional groups and three-dimensional internal pore structure. The adsorption pattern of fermented pine wood shifted from chemisorption dominated to the synergetic adsorption of surface functional groups adsorption and intragranular filling. These results show that FPD has favorable pyrolytic properties, and the derived biochar has adsorption properties, which is the basis for designing pyrolysis process and reusing fermentation residues. HIGHLIGHTS: The FPD has higher values of CPI and activation energy than the PD. FPD-derived biochar has higher adsorption capacity than PD-derived biochar. The fermentation improves the pyrolysis performance. The fermentation enhances adsorption capacity due to unique structure of biochar.
