Abstract
Petroleum pollution is one of the primary threats to the environment and public health. Therefore, it is essential to create new strategies and enhance current ones. The process of biological reclamation, which utilizes a biological agent to eliminate harmful substances from polluted soil, has drawn much interest. Biochars are inexpensive, environmentally beneficial carbon compounds extensively employed to remove petroleum hydrocarbons from the environment. Biochar has demonstrated an excellent capability to remediate soil pollutants because of its abundant supply of the required raw materials, sustainability, affordability, high efficacy, substantial specific surface area, and desired physical-chemical surface characteristics. This paper reviews biochar's methods, effectiveness, and possible toxic effects on the natural environment, amended biochar, and their integration with other remediating materials towards sustainable remediation of petroleum-polluted soil environments. Efforts are being undertaken to enhance the effectiveness of biochar in the hydrocarbon-based rehabilitation approach by altering its characteristics. Additionally, the adsorption, biodegradability, chemical breakdown, and regenerative facets of biochar amendment and combined usage culminated in augmenting the remedial effectiveness. Lastly, several shortcomings of the prevailing methods and prospective directions were provided to overcome the constraints in tailored biochar studies for long-term performance stability and ecological sustainability towards restoring petroleum hydrocarbon adultered soil environments.

Zhang X, Lu H, Liu J, Tadiyose B, Wan H, Zhong Z, Deng Y, Chi G, Zhao H. Mechanism of tartaric acid mediated dissipation and biotransformation of tetrabromobisphenol A and its derivatives in soil. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134350. [PMID: 38643580 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134350] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Biotransformation is a major dissipation process of tetrabromobisphenol A and its derivatives (TBBPAs) in soil. The biotransformation and ultimate environmental fate of TBBPAs have been widely studied, yet the effect of root exudates (especially low-molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs)) on the fate of TBBPAs is poorly documented. Herein, the biotransformation behavior and mechanism of TBBPAs in bacteriome driven by LMWOAs were comprehensively investigated. Tartaric acid (TTA) was found to be the main component of LMWOAs in root exudates of Helianthus annus in the presence of TBBPAs, and was identified to play a key role in driving shaping bacteriome. TTA promoted shift of the dominant genus in soil bacteriome from Saccharibacteria_genera_incertae_sedis to Gemmatimonas, with a noteworthy increase of 24.90-34.65% in relative abundance of Gemmatimonas. A total of 28 conversion products were successfully identified, and β-scission was the principal biotransformation pathway for TBBPAs. TTA facilitated the emergence of novel conversion products, including 2,4-dibromophenol, 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone, para-hydroxyacetophenone, and tribromobisphenol A. These products were formed via oxidative skeletal cleavage and debromination pathways. Additionally, bisphenol A was observed during the conversion of derivatives. This study provides a comprehensive understanding about biotransformation of TBBPAs driven by TTA in soil bacteriome, offering new insights into LMWOAs-driven biotransformation mechanisms.

Mechanistic and future prospects in rhizospheric engineering for agricultural contaminants removal, soil health restoration, and management of climate change stress.

Abstract
Climate change, food insecurity, and agricultural pollution are all serious challenges in the twenty-first century, impacting plant growth, soil quality, and food security. Innovative techniques are required to mitigate these negative outcomes. Toxic heavy metals (THMs), organic pollutants (OPs), and emerging contaminants (ECs), as well as other biotic and abiotic stressors, can all affect nutrient availability, plant metabolic pathways, agricultural productivity, and soil-fertility. Comprehending the interactions between root exudates, microorganisms, and modified biochar can aid in the fight against environmental problems such as the accumulation of pollutants and the stressful effects of climate change. Microbes can inhibit THMs uptake, degrade organic pollutants, releases biomolecules that regulate crop development under drought, salinity, pathogenic attack and other stresses. However, these microbial abilities are primarily demonstrated in research facilities rather than in contaminated or stressed habitats. Despite not being a perfect solution, biochar can remove THMs, OPs, and ECs from contaminated areas and reduce the impact of climate change on plants. We hypothesized that combining microorganisms with biochar to address the problems of contaminated soil and climate change stress would be effective in the field. Despite the fact that root exudates have the potential to attract selected microorganisms and biochar, there has been little attention paid to these areas, considering that this work addresses a critical knowledge gap of rhizospheric engineering mediated root exudates to foster microbial and biochar adaptation. Reducing the detrimental impacts of THMs, OPs, ECs, as well as abiotic and biotic stress, requires identifying the best root-associated microbes and biochar adaptation mechanisms.

Abstract
Accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) poses significant dangers to the environment and human health. The advancement of technology for cleaning up PAH-contaminated environments is receiving more attention. Adsorption is the preferred and most favorable approach for cleaning up sediments polluted with PAH. Due to their affordability and environmental friendliness, carbonaceous adsorbents (CAs) have been regarded as promising for adsorbing PAH. However, adsorbent qualities, environmental features, and factors may all significantly impact how well CAs remove PAH. According to growing data, CAs, most of which come from laboratory tests, may be utilized to decontaminate PAH in aquatic setups. However, their full potential has not yet been established, especially concerning field applications. This review aims to concisely summarize recent developments in CA, PAH stabilization processes, and essential field application-controlling variables. This review analysis emphasizes activated carbon, biochar, Graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon-nanomaterials composite since these CAs are most often utilized as adsorbents for PAH in aquatic systems.

Abstract
Degradation, detoxification, or removal of the omnipresent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the ecosphere as well as their prevention from entering into food chain has never appeared simple. In this context, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable solutions like microbe-mediated strategies have been adopted worldwide. With this connection, measures have been taken by multifarious modes of microbial remedial strategies, i.e., enzymatic degradation, biofilm and biosurfactant production, application of biochar-immobilized microbes, lactic acid bacteria, rhizospheric-phyllospheric-endophytic microorganisms, genetically engineered microorganisms, and bioelectrochemical techniques like microbial fuel cell. In this review, a nine-way directional approach which is based on the microbial resources reported over the last couple of decades has been described. Fungi were found to be the most dominant taxa among the CPAH-degrading microbial community constituting 52.2%, while bacteria, algae, and yeasts occupied 37.4%, 9.1%, and 1.3%, respectively. In addition to these, category-wise CPAH degrading efficiencies of each microbial taxon, consortium-based applications, CPAH degradation-related molecular tools, and factors affecting CPAH degradation are the other important aspects of this review in light of their appropriate selection and application in the PAH-contaminated environment for better human-health management in order to achieve a sustainable ecosystem.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated saline-alkali soil is commonly salinized and hardened, which leads to low self-purification efficiency, making it difficult to reuse and remediate. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to investigate remediation of PAH contaminated saline-alkali soil using biochar-immobilized Martelella sp. AD-3, and Suaeda salsa L (S. salsa). Reduction in phenanthrene concentration, PAH degradation functional genes, and the microbial community in the soil were analyzed. The soil properties and plant growth parameters were also analyzed. After a 40-day remediation, the removal rate of phenanthrene by biochar-immobilized bacteria combined with S. salsa (MBP group) was 91.67 %. Additionally, soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) reduced by 0.15 and 1.78 ds/m, respectively. The fresh weight and leaf pigment contents increased by 1.30 and 1.35 times, respectively, which effectively alleviated the growth pressure on S. salsa in PAH-contaminated saline-alkali soil. Furthermore, this remediation resulted in abundance of PAH degradation functional genes in the soil, with a value of 2.01 × 103 copies/g. The abundance of other PAH degraders such as Halomonas, Marinobacter, and Methylophaga in soil also increased. Furthermore, the highest abundance of Martelella genus was observed after the MBP treatment, indicating that strain AD-3 has a higher survival ability in the rhizosphere of S. salsa under the protection of biochar. This study provides a green, low-cost technique for remediation of PAH-contaminated saline-alkali soils.

Abstract
As the inter-tidal regions between land and ocean, mangrove ecosystems have high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content, and the over accumulation of PAHs in mangrove wetland poses a serious ecological risk to the health of plant and living creatures. Comparison to the agricultural sources -biochar, biochar produced from wetland plant has lower O/C (molar ratio), larger N contents, higher stability and more benefits. However, whether the rhizosphere action occurs in biochar- amended sediment and how to influence the biogeochemical behavior of PAH have rarely been reported. In this context, a leaching procedure and pot experiment (60-d) were performed on migration and transformation of PAH at the sediment, and toxicity and their bioavailability in plant affected by the presence of Kandelia obovate-derived biochar in Southeast China. Root exudates amendments significantly increased the cumulative leaching-loss of pyrene by 36-51 % with or without biochar amendment via continuous diffusion and partition process, and biochar amendments decreased the bioavailability of pyrene (16.8-25.8 %) probably due to a faster pyrene sorption on inter-phase transport against desorption. The regression analysis indicated a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between leachate pH and pyrene concentrations. Notably, the bioaccumulation of pyrene on K. obovate parts had significant negative correlation (p < 0.05) to biochar. The activities of four key antioxidizes (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, dismutases, peroxidases and catalases) were significantly decreased with the application of biochar. Moreover, biochar plays a positive role in cytochrome C release and phosphatidylserine secretion, and a combined biochar-rhizosphere approach can improve the stress tolerance and resistance of K. obovate with an enhanced synergetic effect, which could be a feasible remediation strategy for alleviating the mangrove sediment contaminated by PAH.

Abstract
Biochar is the thermal degradation product of biomass generated in an oxygen-limited environment under different pyrolysis conditions. Biochar characteristics are functions of the feedstock material and pyrolysis temperature. Depending on pyrolysis conditions biochar concentrates varying quantities of recalcitrant and labile carbon along with nutrients which in turn affect soil physiochemical properties and microbial processes. Biochar in soil balances carbon content encourages nitrogen fixation and solubilize phosphorus along with enhancing soil enzyme activity. It serves as a microhabitat for microorganisms present in soil thus influences the diversity, composition, and distribution of soil microbial communities by affecting their intra- and interspecific communication. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge about biochar characteristics, its interactions with soil, and associated biota and its role in soil remediation. In addition, this paper also discussed the factors affecting the capacity of biochar to adsorb organic pollutants following different mechanisms. Being an effective adsorbent due its high specific surface area, large porosity, and numerous surface functional groups biochar has been explored extensively in field of environment to remediate contaminated soils.

Abstract
Aquatic vegetables, including lotus root, water spinach, cress, watercress and so on, have been cultivated as commercial crops for a long time. Though aquatic vegetables have great edible and medicinal values, the increasing demands for aquatic vegetables with high quality have led to higher requirements of their soil and water environments. Unfortunately, the soil and water environment often face many problems such as nutrient imbalance, excessive fertilization, and pollution. Therefore, a new cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for addressing the above issues is urgently required. Biochars, one type of pyrolysis product obtained from agricultural and forestry waste, show great potential in reducing fertilizer application, upgrading soil quality and remediating pollution. Application of biochars in aquatic vegetable cultivation would not only improve the yield and quality, but also reduce its edible risk. Biochars can improve the soil micro-environment, soil microorganism and soil enzyme activities. Furthermore, biochars can remediate the heavy metal pollution, organic pollution and nitrogen and phosphorus non-point source pollution in the water and soil environments of aquatic vegetables, which promotes the state of cultivation conditions and thereby improves the yield and quality of aquatic vegetables. However, the harmful substances such as heavy metals, PAHs, etc. derived from biochars can cause environmental risks, which should be seriously considered. In this review, the application of biochars in aquatic vegetable cultivation is briefly summarized. The changes of soil physicochemical and biological properties, the effects of biochars in remediating water and soil environmental pollution and the impacts of biochars on the yield and quality of aquatic vegetables are also discussed. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the research progress on the effects of biochars on soil and water environments for aquatic vegetable cultivation.

Dike CC, Hakeem IG, Rani A, Surapaneni A, Khudur L, Shah K, Ball AS. The co-application of biochar with bioremediation for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from contaminated soil. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 849:157753. [PMID: 35931161 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Soil pollution from petroleum hydrocarbon is a global environmental problem that could contribute to the non-actualisation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Several techniques have been used to remediate petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soils; however, there are technical and economical limitations to existing methods. As such, the development of new approaches and the improvement of existing techniques are imperative. Biochar, a low-cost carbonaceous product of the thermal decomposition of waste biomass has gained relevance in soil remediation. Biochar has been applied to remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated soils, with positive and negative results reported. Consequently, attempts have been made to improve the performance of biochar in the hydrocarbon-based remediation process through the co-application of biochar with other bioremediation techniques as well as modifying biochar properties before use. Despite the progress made in this domain, there is a lack of a detailed single review consolidating the critical findings, new developments, and challenges in biochar-based remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. This review assessed the potential of biochar co-application with other well-known bioremediation techniques such as bioaugmentation, phytoremediation, and biostimulation. Additionally, the benefits of modification in enhancing biochar suitability for bioremediation were examined. It was concluded that biochar co-application generally resulted in higher hydrocarbon removal than sole biochar treatment, with up to a 4-fold higher removal observed in some cases. However, most of the biochar co-applied treatments did not result in hydrocarbon removal that was greater than the additive effects of individual treatment. Overall, compared to their complementary treatments, biochar co-application with bioaugmentation was more beneficial in hydrocarbon removal than biochar co-application with either phytoremediation or biostimulation. Future studies should integrate the ecotoxicological and cost implications of biochar co-application for a viable remediation process. Lastly, improving the synergistic interactions of co-treatment on hydrocarbon removal is critical to capturing the full potential of biochar-based remediation.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known as a hazardous group of pollutants in the soil which causes many challenges to the environment. In this study, the potential of biochar (BC), as a carbonaceous material, is evaluated for the immobilization of PAHs in soils. For this purpose, various bonding mechanisms of BC and PAHs, and the strength of bonds are firstly described. Also, the effect of impressive criteria including BC physicochemical properties (such as surface area, porosity, particle size, polarity, aromaticity, functional group, etc., which are mostly the function of pyrolysis temperature), number of rings in PAHs, incubation time, and soil properties, on the extent and rate of PAHs immobilization by BC are explained. Then, the utilization of BC in collaboration with biological tools which simplifies further dissipation of PAHs in the soil is described considering detailed interactions among BC, microbes, and plants in the soil matrix. The co-effect of BC and biological remediation has been authenticated by previous studies. Moreover, recent technologies and challenges related to the application of BC in soil remediation are explained. The implementation of a combined BC-biological remediation method would provide excellent prospects for PAHs-contaminated soils.

Biochar enhanced polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degradation in soil planted with ryegrass: Bacterial community and degradation gene expression mechanisms.

Abstract
Biochar and ryegrass have been used in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-contaminated soils; however, the effects of different biochar application levels on the dissipation of PAHs, bacterial communities, and PAH-ring hydroxylating dioxygenase (PAH-RHDα) genes in rhizosphere soil remain unclear. In this study, enzyme activity tests, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and high-throughput sequencing were performed to investigate the effects of different proportions of rape straw biochar (1%, 2%, and 4% (w/w)) on the degradation of PAHs, as well as the associated changes in the soil bacterial community and PAH-RHDα gene expression. The results revealed that biochar enhanced the rhizoremediation of PAH-contaminated soil and that 2% biochar-treated rhizosphere soil was the most effective in removing PAHs. Furthermore, urease activity, abundance and activity of total bacteria, and PAH-degrading bacteria were enhanced in soil that was amended with biochar and ryegrass. Additionally, the activity of 16S rDNA and PAH-RHDα gram-negative (GN) genes increased with increasing biochar dosage and had a positive correlation with the removal of PAHs. Biochar changed the rhizosphere soil bacterial composition and α-diversity, and promoted the growth of Pseudomonas and Zeaxanthinibacter. In addition, the relative abundance of Pseudomonas was positively correlated with PAH removal. These findings imply that rape straw biochar can enhance the rhizoremediation of PAH-contaminated soil by changing soil bacterial communities and stimulating the expression of PAH-RHDα GN genes. The 2% of rape straw biochar combined with ryegrass would be an effective method to remediate the PAH-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Emerging micro-pollutants have rapidly contaminated the agro-ecosystem, posing serious challenges to a sustainable future. The vast majority of them have infiltrated the soil and damaged agricultural fields and crops after being released from industry. These pollutants and their transformed products are also transported in vast quantities which further exacerbate the damage. Sustainable remediation techniques are warranted for such large amounts of contaminants. As aforementioned, many of them have been detected at very high concentrations in soil and water which adversely affect crop physiology by disrupting different metabolic processes. To combat this situation, nanomaterials and other organic amendments assisted phytoremediation ware considered as a viable alternative. It is a potent synergistic activity between the biological system and the supplied organic or nanomaterial material to eliminate emerging contaminants and micropollutants from crop fields. This can be effectively be applied to degraded crop fields and could potentially embody a green technology for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) continue to be among the most common pollutants in soil worldwide. Bioremediation and phytoremediation have become sustainable ways of dealing with TPH contamination and biostimulation-assisted phytoremediation is considered as a potential approach for the treatment of pollutants. In this study, the response surface was used to optimize the single-factor biological stimulation experiment of moisture content, leavening agent content and compound fertilizer content and got the best experimental plan of biological stimulation. It was found that TPH degradation rate was 28.6% by biostimulation after 70 days. Further, from 20 kinds of plant seeds, 5 kinds of suitable or growth and high germination rate were selected for petroleum hydrocarbon degradation experiment. In the phytoremediation, peanut was selected as the best plant species by measuring the TPH degradation rate, bacteria count, growth of test plants, germination rate and amount of catalase in the soil and it could achieved 31.1% degradation rate of petroleum hydrocarbons after 70 days. Finally, the artificial biostimulation and phytoremediation combined degradation experiment of petroleum hydrocarbons-contaminated soil was designed and it achieved 38.9% TPH degradation rate after 70 days.

Abstract
Motivated by the unique structure and superior properties, biochar-based materials, including pristine biochar and composites of biochar with other functional materials, are considered as new generation materials for diverse multi-functional applications, which may be intentionally or unintentionally released to soil. The influencing mechanism of biochar-based material on soil organisms is a key aspect for quantifying and predicting its benefits and trade-offs. This work focuses on the effects of biochar-based materials on soil organisms within the past ten years. 206 sources are reviewed and available knowledge on biochar-based materials' impacts on soil organisms is summarized from a diverse perspective, including the pollutant bioavailability changes in soil, and potential effects of biochar-based materials on soil organisms. Herein, effects of biochar-based materials on the bioavailability of soil organic pollutants are detailed, from the perspective of plant, microorganism, and soil fauna. Potential biological effects of pristine biochar (PBC), metal/metal compounds-biochar composites (MBC), clay minerals-biochar composites (CMBC), and carbonaceous materials-biochar composites (CBC) on soil organisms are highlighted for the first time. And possible mechanisms are presented based on the different characters of biochar-based materials as well as various environmental interactions. Finally, the bottleneck and challenges of risk assessment of biochar-based materials as well as future prospects are proposed. This work not only promotes the development of risk assessment system of biochar-based materials, but broadens the strategy for the design and optimization of environmental-friendly biochar materials.

Abstract
Synthetic musks (SMs) have been widely used as odor additives in personal care products (PCPs). Dermal exposure to SMs is the main pathway of the accumulation of these chemicals in human kerateins and poses potential health risks. In this study, in silico methods were established to reduce the human health risk of SMs from dermal exposure by investigating the risk mechanisms, designing lower bioaccumulation ability SMs and suggesting proper PCP ingredients using molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models. The binding energy, a parameter reflecting the binding ability of SMs and human keratin protein (4ZRY), was used as the indicator to assess the human health risk of SMs. According to the mechanism analysis, total energy was found as the most influential molecular structural feature influencing the bioaccumulation ability of a SM, and as one of the main factors influencing the function (i.e., odor sensitivity) of an SM. The 3D-QSAR models were constructed to control the human health risk of SMs by designing lower-risk SMs derivatives. The phantolide (PHAN)- 58 was determined to be the optimum SM derivative with lower bioaccumulation ability (reduced 17.25%) and improved odor sensitivity (increased 7.91%). A further reduction of bioaccumulation ability of PHAN-58 was found when adding proper body wash ingredients (i.e., alkyl ethoxylate sulfate (AES), dimethyloldimethyl (DMDM), EDTA-Na4, ethylene glycol distearate (EGDS), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), lemon yellow and octyl glucose), leading to a significant reduction of the bioaccumulation ability (42.27%) compared with that of PHAN. Results demonstrated that the proposed theoretical mechanism and control strategies could effectively reduce the human health risk of SMs from dermal exposure.

Patel AK, Singhania RR, Pal A, Chen CW, Pandey A, Dong CD. Advances on tailored biochar for bioremediation of antibiotics, pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants from aqueous and solid phases. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 817:153054. [PMID: 35026237 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Biochar is gaining incredible importance for remediation applications due to their attractive removal properties. Moreover, it is becoming ecofriendly, cost-effective and sustainable bioadsorbents towards replacing expensive activated carbons. Studies reveal biochar effectiveness for removal of important and potentially severe organic pollutants such as antibiotics and pesticides. Recent research advancements on biochar modification (physical, chemical and biological) opens greater opportunity to form tailored biochar with improved surface properties than their native forms for offering better removal efficiencies. Further attentions paid towards emergent new modification methods to cover broad-spectrum pollutants using tailored biochar. Current review aims to summarize recent updates upon biochar tailoring, comparative account of tailored biochars removal efficiencies with respect to their native forms and to provide in-depth discussion covering specific interactions of tailored biochars with antibiotics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pesticides for their effective removals and degradation from polluted environments. Application of inducer compounds e.g., peroxymonosulfate and sodium percarbonate further improved the biochar role towards degradation of toxic organic pollutants into their less or nontoxic forms. Biochar engineered with specific metals enable them for the same role without inducer compounds. Moreover, microbial interactions with biochar not only improve the bioremediation level further but also degrade the pollutants from the environment and open up better environmental and socio-economic prospects. Application of green, cost-effective and sustainable biochar for remediation of environmentally potential organic pollutants offers economical treatment methods as well as safe environment. These benefits are inline with global trends towards developing a sustainable process for biocircular economy.

Abstract
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been attracted increasing attentions due to their carcinogenicity and teratogenicity. Adsorption is widely considered one of the most potential technologies for PAHs removal. In this study, we prepared two kinds of oxygen-rich biochar derived from waste wood to investigate the PAHs adsorption performance, and the molecular simulation was used to build the 16 priority PAHs, 23 nitrated PAHs, 9 oxygenated PAHs adsorption model. The surface adsorption performance of oxygen-rich biochar significantly depends on the pyrolysis conditions. The main out-comings demonstrated that the adsorption of naphthalene (C10H8) molecules first occurred, and the optimal adsorption positions of oxygen-rich biochar strongly adhered to functional groups of carboxyl and hydroxyl. Moreover, benzene ring, -COOH, and -CH3 of biochar were the main adsorbed functional groups for PAHs adsorption. The oxygen-rich biochar had the targeted-adsorption effect on PAHs removal especially symmetrical PAHs, and the targeted-adsorption mechanism was finally proposed. The research is beneficial to guide the removal of PAHs from polluted water and mitigate the environmental pollution caused by biomass waste mismanagement, simultaneously.

Abstract
Bioremediation and phytoremediation have demonstrated potential for decontamination of petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soils. The total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) are known to induce phytotoxicity, reduce water retention in soil, associate hydrophobic nature and contaminants' in situ heterogeneous distribution, limit soil nutrient release and reduce soil aeration and compaction. The ageing of TPHs in contaminated soils further hinders the degradation process. Soil amendments can promote plant growth and enhance the TPH removal from contaminated aged soil. In the present experiment, remediation of TPH-contaminated aged soil was performed by Italian ryegrass, with compost (COM, 5%), biochar (BC, 5%) and immobilized microorganisms' technique (IMT). Results revealed that significantly highest hydrocarbon removal (40%) was noted in mixed amendments (MAA) which contained BC + COM + IMT, followed by COM (36%), compared to vegetative control and other treatments. The higher TPH removal in aged soil corresponds with the stimulated rhizospheric effects, as evidenced by higher root biomass (85-159% increase), and bacterial count compared to NA control. Phyto-stimulants actions of biochar and IMT improved seed germination of Italian ryegrass. The compost co-amendment with other treatments showed improvement in plant physiological status. These results suggested that plant growth and TPH removal from aged, contaminated soils using BC, COM and IMT can improve bioremediation efficiency.

Abstract
The pot experiment was conducted to monitor the dynamics in soil solution chemistry in order to determine the main rhizosphere processes determining As and PAH bioavailability when utilizing P. vittata and PAH-degrading bacteria to remediate co-contaminated soils. The result showed that P. vittata was capable of depleting soil solution As and increasing phenanthrene solubilization, and thus facilitating plant As uptake and phenanthrene dissipation. Bacterial inoculation enhanced soil phenanthrene dissipation and concurrently modified As bioavailability though increasing soil pH, facilitating Fe and Ca minerals solubilization, and accelerating organic matter decomposition. However, the main factors that determine As bioavailability in the rhizosphere considerably varied with plant genotypes. Upon bacterial inoculation, P and Fe strongly influenced As(V) availability and its uptake by the Guangxi accession, and DOC, Fe, and pH were the main parameters correlated with As(V) availability in the rhizosphere of the Hunan accession. Bacterial inoculation tended to stimulate As(V) reduction in the rhizosphere of P. vittata. Microbial-induced changes in Ca, S, and C cycling and pH were indicators of As(V) reduction. Although bacterial inoculation increased soil As and phenanthrene availability, striking differences in As and nutrients uptake and phenanthrene dissipation were observed between P. vittata genotypes. It is suggested that apart from the microbial transformation, plant genotypes and bacterial mediated plant nutrition are also the critical factors in controlling the fates of As and phenanthrene. Our results uncovered the interactions between P. vittata and PAH-degrading bacteria on rhizosphere properties and nutrients cycling regulating As and PAH availability and remediation efficiency.

Abstract
Biochar shows unique advantage in decreasing the bioavailability of phenanthrene and has huge potential into the in-situ remediation of contaminated sediment. The different order spiking influences the bioavailability and ecological risk of phenanthrene, this study provides a comprehensive investigation of biochar (derived from mangrove Kandelia obovata -sediment system under three conditions: I) co-addition of biochar and sediment; II) biochar and subsequently sediment addition (after biochar adsorption reached equilibrium); III) sediment and subsequently biochar addition (after sediment adsorption reached equilibrium). It was observed that the adsorption capability under model I and III was much smaller than that under model II (p < 0.05). Regardless of time, K. obovate - biochar significantly (p < 0.05) increase the sorption of phenanthrene in sediment -water system. The results provide valuable studies for further in-situ remediation of phenanthrene and engineering applications.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the bioremediation efficiency and bacterial regulation mechanism of biochar-immobilized bacterium (BM) in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated saline soil by conducting pot experiments. In BM treatment, PAH-degrading strain Sphingomonas sp. PJ2 was inoculated into biochar produced at 400 °C and 600 °C using the pine needles (BM400 and BM600). The removal rates of PAHs, soil physicochemical properties, abundance of PAH-ring hydroxylating dioxygenase (PAH-RHD), and bacterial community composition were determined. After 60 days of bioremediation, BM treatment significantly (P < 0.05) increased the removal rate of PAHs compared with biochar and PJ2 alone (15.94% and 37.3%, respectively). BM treatment clearly improved the physicochemical properties of saline soil. Moreover, the amount of Gram-positive PAH degraders increased in BM-treated soils compared with other treatments, and their gene abundance had a strong positive correlation with the removal rates of PAHs in soils (r = 0.896; P < 0.01). Furthermore, BM treatment increased the abundance of Sphingomonas genus, indicating that the strain PJ2 could survive and colonize in PAH-contaminated saline soil under the protection of biochar. This study provided an effective and green approach for the remediation and improvement of the PAH-contaminated saline soil.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are hazardous organic contaminants threatening human health and environmental safety due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity. Biochar (BC) is an eco-friendly carbonaceous material that can extensively be utilized for the remediation of PCBs-contaminated soils. In the last decade, many studies reported that BC is beneficial for soil quality enhancement and agricultural productivity based on its physicochemical characteristics. In this review, the potential of BC application in PCBs-contaminated soils is elaborated as biological strategies (e.g., bioremediation and phytoremediation) and specific mechanisms are also comprehensively demonstrated. Further, the synergy effects of BC application on PCBs-contaminated soils are discussed, in view of eco-friendly, beneficial, and productive aspects.

Abstract
The term "Total petroleum hydrocarbons" (TPH) is used to describe a complex mixture of petroleum-based hydrocarbons primarily derived from crude oil. Those compounds are considered as persistent organic pollutants in the terrestrial environment. A wide array of organic amendments is increasingly used for the remediation of TPH-contaminated soils. Organic amendments not only supply a source of carbon and nutrients but also add exogenous beneficial microorganisms to enhance the TPH degradation rate, thereby improving the soil health. Two fundamental approaches can be contemplated within the context of remediation of TPH-contaminated soils using organic amendments: (i) enhanced TPH sorption to the exogenous organic matter (immobilization) as it reduces the bioavailability of the contaminants, and (ii) increasing the solubility of the contaminants by supplying desorbing agents (mobilization) for enhancing the subsequent biodegradation. Net immobilization and mobilization of TPH have both been observed following the application of organic amendments to contaminated soils. This review examines the mechanisms for the enhanced remediation of TPH-contaminated soils by organic amendments and discusses the influencing factors in relation to sequestration, bioavailability, and subsequent biodegradation of TPH in soils. The uncertainty of mechanisms for various organic amendments in TPH remediation processes remains a critical area of future research.

Abstract
Heavy metal/metalloids (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil have caused serious environmental problems, compromised agriculture quality, and have detrimental effects on all forms of life including humans. There is a need to develop appropriate and effective remediation methods to resolve combined contaminated problems. Although conventional technologies exist to tackle contaminated soils, application of biochar as an effective renewable adsorbent for enhanced bioremediation is considered by many scientific researchers as a promising strategy to mitigate HM/PAH co-contaminated soils. This review aims to: (i) provide an overview of biochar preparation and its application, and (ii) critically discuss and examine the prospects of (bio)engineered biochar for enhancing HMs/PAHs co-remediation efficacy by reducing their mobility and bioavailability. The adsorption effectiveness of a biochar largely depends on the type of biomass material, carbonisation method and pyrolysis conditions. Biochar induced soil immobilise and remove metal ions via various mechanisms including electrostatic attractions, ion exchange, complexation and precipitation. PAHs remediation mechanisms are achieved via pore filling, hydrophobic effect, electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bond and partitioning. During last decade, biochar engineering (modification) via biological and chemical approaches to enhance contaminant removal efficiency has garnered greater interests. Hence, the development and application of (bio)engineered biochars in risk management, contaminant management associated with HM/PAH co-contaminated soil. In terms of (bio)engineered biochar, we review the prospects of amalgamating biochar with hydrogel, digestate and bioaugmentation to produce biochar composites.

Abstract
Biochar as a soil amendment has been proposed for enhancing carbon sequestration and manure-borne hormone contaminant remediation. However, little is known about the ecological risk of biochar application in the soil with hormone contamination. This study investigated the influence of biochar in three manure-impacted soils contaminated with estrogen hormones, natural estrogen 17β-estradiol and synthesized estrogen 17α-ethinylestradiol in a microcosm experiment. Specifically, microbial respiration was periodically determined during microcosm incubation while microbial community phospholipid fatty acids and activities of nutrient (C, N, P, S) cycling related enzymes (β-glucosidase, urease, phosphodiesterase, arylsulfatase) were characterized after the incubation. Results showed that the manure-impacted soils with high SOC generally had greater total microbial biomass, ratios of fungi/bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria/Gram-negative bacteria, and phosphodiesterase activity, but lower urease activity. Additionally, hormones stimulated microbial respiration and biomass, while had little impact on activity of the enzymes. On the other hand, biochar showed negative priming effect by significantly decreasing total microbial biomass by 8.7%-26.4%, CO2 production by 16.6%-33.5%, and glucosidase activity by 27.1%-41.0% in the three soils. Biochar significantly increased the activity of phosphodiesterase, showed no impact on arylsulfatase, while decreased the activity of urease. Overall, the study suggests that when used in hormone remediation in manure-impact soils, biochar could improve phosphodiesterase activity, but may decrease soil microbial activity and the activity of soil glucosidase and urease.

Biochar applications combined with paddy-upland rotation cropping systems benefit the safe use of PAH-contaminated soils: From risk assessment to microbial ecology. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 404:124123. [PMID: 33049639 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2020] [Revised: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to establish a method allowing the safe use of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soils through the combination of biochar applications and different cropping systems. The impact of biochar applications under different cropping systems on the human health risks of PAHs and soil microbiology was elucidated. The residual PAHs were the lowest in rhizosphere soils amended with 2% corn straw-derived biochar pyrolyzed at 300 °C (CB300) under the paddy-upland rotation cropping (PURC) system. Human health risks resulting from the ingestion of PAH-contaminated carrot roots / rice grains under the PURC system were significantly lower than those under continuous upland cropping systems. The greatest diversity, richness and network complexity of soil microbial communities occurred under the PURC system combined with the 2% CB300 treatment. Soil microbial functions associated with soil health and PAH biodegradation were enhanced under this strategy, while the pathogen group was inhibited. Primarily owing to its high sorption capacity, bamboo-derived biochar pyrolyzed at 700 °C realized in the reduction of PAHs, but weakly influenced shifts in soil microbial communities. Overall, the combination of PURC systems and low-temperature-pyrolyzed nutrient-rich biochar could efficiently reduce the human health risks of PAHs and improve soil microbial ecology in agricultural fields.

Abstract
Biochar, a carbonaceous material, is increasingly used in the remediation of the anthropogenically polluted soils and the restoration of their ecological functions. However, the interaction mechanisms among biochar, inorganic and organic soil properties and soil biota are still not very clear. The effect of biochar on soil microorganisms is very diverse. Several mechanisms of these interactions were suggested. However, a well acceptable mechanism of biochar effect on soil microorganisms is still missing. Therefore, efforts were made to examine and proposed a mechanism of the interactions between biochar and microorganisms, as well as existing problems of biochar impacts on main groups of soil enzymes, the composition of the microbiota and the detoxification (heavy metals) and degradation (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) of soil pollutants. The data on the process of biochar colonization by microorganisms and the effect of volatile pyrolysis products released by biochar on the soil microbiota were analysed in detail. The effects of biochar on the physico-chemical properties of soils, the content of mineral nutrients and the response of microbial communities to these changes are also discussed. The information provided here may contribute to the solution of the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of the biochar questions to enhance the soil fertility and to detoxify pollutants in soils.

Abstract
In this study, derivatives of two common fatty acids in plant root exudates, sodium palmitate and sodium linoleate (sodium aliphatates), were added to an aged Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil to estimate their effectiveness in the removal of PAHs. Sodium linoleate was more effective in lowering PAHs and especially high-molecular-weight (4-6 ring) PAHs (HMW-PAHs). Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) indicates that both amendments led to a shift in the soil bacterial community. Moreover, linear discriminant effect size (LEfSe) analysis demonstrates that the specific PAHs degraders Pseudomonas, Arenimonas, Pseudoxanthomonas and Lysobacter belonging to the γ-proteobacteria and Nocardia and Rhodococcus belonging to the Actinobacteria were the biomarkers of, respectively, sodium linoleate and sodium palmitate amendments. Correlation analysis suggests that four biomarkers in the sodium linoleate amendment treatment from γ-proteobacteria were all highly linearly negatively related to HMW-PAHs residues (p < 0.01) while two biomarkers in the sodium palmitate amendment treatment from Actinobacteria were highly linearly negatively related to LMW-PAHs residues (p < 0.01). Higher removal efficiency of PAHs (especially HMW-PAHs) in the sodium linoleate amendment treatment than in the sodium palmitate amendment treatment might be ascribed to the specific enrichment of microbes from the γ-proteobacteria. The bacterial functional KEGG orthologs (KOs) assigned to PAHs metabolism and functional C23O and C12O genes related to cleavage of the benzene ring were both up-regulated. These results provide new insight into the mechanisms of the two sodium aliphatate amendments in accelerating PAHs biodegradation and have implications for practical application in the remediation of PAHs-contaminated soils.

Abstract
The amendment of biochar in soils contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an environmentally friendly in situ remediation measure. Numerous studies focused on the application of biochars to reduce the uptake of POPs by plants in soils. In this review, we summarized the role of biochar in reducing the migration of POPs in soil-plant systems. The mechanisms of biochar reducing the bioavailability of POPs in the soil, i.e. immobilization and promoted biodegradation, and the influencing factors are fully discussed. Especially in rhizosphere amended with biochar, the synergistic effect of POPs-root exudates-microorganisms on the reduced bioavailability of POPs is analyzed. This paper suggests that future researches should focus on the long-term environmental fate of POPs sorbed on high-temperature biochars and the long-term impacts of low-temperature biochars on the interaction of POPs-root exudates-rhizosphere microorganisms. All the above are necessary for efficient and safe use of biochar for remediating POP-contaminated farmland soils.

Abstract
In order to study their synergistic catalytic effects in toluene degradation, CuMn2O4/HTS-1 (HTS-1 was a titanium silicon molecular sieve), Cu0.7Mn2Y0.3Ox/HTS-1 and Cu0.7Mn2Ce0.3Ox/HTS-1 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The textural properties, redox properties and acidity of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), frustrated total internal reflection (FT-IR), ammonium temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and pyridine adsorption internal reflection (Py-IR) measurements. The potential roles of Lewis acid sites (activating dioxygen) were discussed, and the experimental results indicated that the most efficient route for toluene degradation over Cu0.7Mn2Ce0.3Ox/HTS-1 (toluene conversion rate of 90% (T99)=295°C) was ascribed to regulation of the synergistic effects of redox properties (activating molecular toluene) and Lewis acid sites (activating dioxygen). The Mars-Van-Krevelen (MVK) model was adopted to describe the reaction process of toluene oxidation, which gave an in-depth view into the toluene degradation over CuMn2O4/HTS-1, Cu0.7Mn2Y0.3Ox/HTS-1 and Cu0.7Mn2Ce0.3Ox/HTS-1. In addition, the synergistic effects between redox properties and Lewis acid sites were studied in detail.

Abstract
Thermochemical processing of biomass results in a producing char, a typical by-product. The char can be termed as biochar when specifically applied as a soil fertility enhancement. Biochar, when utilized efficiently, is basic for enhancing financial viability and also to maintain ecosystem. The properties of carbonized biomass rely upon raw materials (feedstock) and procedure conditions. Biochar shows an incredible potential to effectively handle water contaminants taking into consideration the wide accessibility of feedstock, suitable physical/chemical surface properties and low-cost. Pyrolysis technology for converting lignocellulosic biomass into biochar has emerged as a frontier research domain for the removal of pollutants. This review focused on production of biochar from various sources of lignocellulosic biomass (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) and its application in various fields such as agriculture, wastewater treatment process. Biochar is a significant resource however, its application require further examination of its properties and structure and techniques to alter those factors.

Abstract
Biochar application to soil is recognised for its capacity to immobilise pollutants (through sorption) while composted inputs can accelerate the biodegradation of organic pollutants. However, little is known about the influence of combined incorporation on plant uptake of organic pollutants. Therefore, we investigated the effects of maize straw-derived biochar (MSB), compost derived from maize straw and pig manure (SMC), and their combination (MSB-SMC) as soil amendments on bioavailability of 2,2',4,4'-tetrabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE-47) and carrot (Daucus carota L.) uptake in a horticultural soil. We found that biochar alone performed well in reducing BDE-47 bioavailability, but was less effective at degrading the pollutant. Conversely, addition of compost stimulated BDE-47 biodegradation. MSB-SMC enhanced BDE-47 biodegradation in soil, reduced contamination of carrot roots, and caused significant reductions in soil extractable BDE-47. The combination of contrasting approaches to remediation thus resulted in the most favorable outcome for a contaminated soil: immobilisation of contaminant from vegetable crops (via biochar) with simultaneous bioremediation of the growing medium. These findings point towards an effective strategy for reducing plant uptake of PDBEs through the combined use of biochar and compost as soil amendment - reducing mobility and facilitating degradation of the accessible contaminant fractions.

Abstract
In recent years, with the continuous development of industry and agriculture, the content of organic pollutants in the environment has been increasing, which has caused serious pollution to the environment. Adsorption has proven to be an effective and economically viable method of removing organic contaminants. Since biochar has many advantages such as various types of raw materials, low cost, and recyclability, it can achieve the effect of turning waste into treasure when used for environmental treatment. This paper summarizes the source and production of biochar, points out its research status in the removal of organic pollutants, expounds its adsorption mechanism on organic pollutants, introduces the relevant adsorption parameters, summarizes its regeneration methods, studies its application of engineering, and finally analyses of benefits and describes the development prospects.

[PMID: 30465972 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.11.094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2018] [Revised: 11/03/2018] [Accepted: 11/14/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Biochars derived from rice straw (RS), corn straw (CS), chicken manure (CM) and tire rubber (TR) were applied to soil to investigate their effects on the dissipation of cyazofamid and its metabolite CCIM (4-chloro-5-p-tolylimidazole-2-carbonitrile), with high acute toxicity compared to cyazofamid. The enhancement of cyazofamid dissipation followed the order of CS > RS > CM, whereas TR depressed the cyazofamid dissipation. Adsorption, hydrolysis and microbial degradation were all involved in cyazofamid dissipation. CM and CS enhanced the contribution of biodegradation to cyazofamid dissipation, which might be related with the shifted microbial community. More importantly, CCIM residual was drastically increased by 8-15 times after biochar application, regardless of biochar type. In total, this study shed light on the issue of build-up of metabolites in biochar-amended soil, especially for metabolites having higher toxicities than parent compounds, providing new insights into potential risk of biochar application for soil remediation.
