Abstract

In the past decade, numerous kinds of heavy metals have been discharged into water and soil environment, which are contaminants with high toxicity to both human beings and environment ecosystem. Biochar has been attracted wide attention due to its advantages of wide sources, large specific surface area and low cost, while biochar immobilized microorganisms also has been widely used to eliminate heavy metals from water and soil. To date, many studies about performance of biochar immobilized microorganism have been reported, but few studies had focused on the reaction mechanism of biochar immobilized microorganism for heavy metals remediation in water and soil. Thus, the recent advances toward the application of biochar-immobilized microorganism in the remediation of heavy metals from water and soil were systematacially summarized in this study, including the influence factors and reaction mechanism of biochar immobilized microorganism. Based on the above overview, the next study on biochar-immobilized microorganism has been prospected. This study could provide theoretical and technical support for biochar immobilized microorganisms in the remediation of heavy metal polluted water and soil.

期刊介绍： Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
