Abstract
Biochar can be prepared from biomass through pyrolysis in a low-oxygen or anaerobic environment. The characteristics of biochar are influenced by raw materials and the specific preparation process employed. To enhance the efficacy of biochar, various modification methods can be applied. These primarily include chemical modification, physical modification, and biological modification. This paper conducts a literature review covering the period from 2018 to 2023, focusing on biochar preparation, modification methods, and environmental applications. It is a comprehensive overview of the processes involved in preparing biochar, analyzes its characteristics, and explores various modification techniques. Additionally, the paper discusses the diverse and highly efficient application of biochar in environmental remediation, with a particular emphasis on its use in soil, water, and the atmosphere. While biochar holds significant potential for environmental remediation, a thorough understanding of its mechanism in environmental applications is still lacking. Further in-depth studies are required to elucidate the complex roles biochar plays in various environmental contexts.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
