In this study, compared with the control group (CK), the addition of MBC caused an increase in the concentration of both humus and humic acid (HA), with a respective enhancement of 29.1% and 37.2%. In addition, MBC also improved the stability of compost products. Hetero two-dimensional correlation spectra further exhibited that the MBC could alter the formation mechanism of humus fractions during composting. Random forest analysis showed that <i>Microbacterium</i>, <i>Bacteroides</i>, <i>Kroppenstedtia</i>, <i>Gracilibacillus</i>, and <i>Lentibacillus</i> were significantly related to humus formation (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.05). MBC enhanced the absolute abundance of these five genera during composting. The structural equation model further confirmed that these five genera could be indirectly involved in humus formation, through the production of aromatic compounds via secondary metabolism. Additionally, these five genera could directly transform organic components into macromolecular humus structures. Therefore, the increase in these five genera might be a direct response to the acceleration of the humification during MBC composting. These findings demonstrate the potential value of MBC in harmless disposal of hazardous biowastes through composting.</p><p><b>Highlights</b></p><ul>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>MnO<sub>2</sub> modification of biochar changed the formation mechanism of humus fractions.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>Key genera involved in humus formation were identified.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>Among of MnO<sub>2</sub> modification of biochar, key genera and humus formation were revealed.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000</ul><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":8789,"journal":{"name":"Biochar","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140316948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that as the pyrolysis temperature increased from 150 °C to 500 °C, the yield of bamboo char experienced a rapid decline, settling at a maximum of 69%, with no significant impact from bamboo age and parts. Subsequently, as the pyrolysis temperature continued to rise from 500 °C to 1000 °C, the yield stabilized at 25.74–32.64%. Besides, fixed carbon (FC), volatile matter (VM), and ash content were temperature-dependent, while the H/C, O/C, (N + O)/C, and aromatic index kept constant after reaching 500 °C. Notably, 800 °C was confirmed to be a crucial turning point for physiochemical properties, at which the graphitic structural changes occurred, pore collapsed, and potassium salts released. Bamboo age was proved to enhance the stability. Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) analysis revealed that the pyrolysis temperature was positively correlated (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01) with ash (0.76), FC (0.97), AI (0.81), R<sub>50</sub> (0.77), and C–C/C = C/C–H (0.87).

The end product of pyrolysis, sludge-char, can serve as a soil improver. However, there is a lack of comprehensive data on the organic pollutants’ behaviour in sludge-char. In our work, we focused on the behaviour of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Sludge was pyrolyzed at 200–700 °C to determine the minimum safe temperature for effective PFASs removal. It is important to note that PFASs may not only be mineralized but also cleaved to unanalyzed PFASs and other organofluorinated substances. To address this issue, we incorporated additional measurements of organic fluorine in the experiment using combustion ion chromatography (CIC). Due to the inherent heterogeneity of sludge, containing a variety of pollutants and their precursors, we conducted pyrolysis on artificially contaminated sand. This allowed us to assess and compare the behaviour of PFASs in a homogeneous matrix. Based on our analyses, we determined that a temperature greater than 400 °C is imperative for effective PFASs and organic fluorine removal. The results were verified by analyzing samples from a commercial sludge pyrolysis unit at the Bohuslavice-Trutnov WWTP, which confirmed our measurements. In light of these results, it becomes evident that sludge pyrolysis below 400 °C is unsuitable for PFAS removal from sewage sludge.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":8789,"journal":{"name":"Biochar","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140311500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mechanism and the importance of biochar properties in controlling its own WHC and bound water evaporation remain little known. In this study, wheat straw and pine sawdust biochars were pyrolyzed in N<sub>2</sub>-flow, CO<sub>2</sub>-flow, and air-limitation environments at 300–750 ℃, and a series of the produced biochars’ properties were characterized to explore the dominant controlling factors of their WHC and bound water evaporation. The results have shown that with the increasing contents of hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen as well as such ratios as H/C, and (O + N)/C, WHC of the biochars was also increasing while the evaporation of biochar-bound water was decreasing. With an increase in the other studied factors, such as carbon content, pH, and specific surface area (SSA), WHC of the biochars was decreasing, and the evaporation of biochar-bound water was increasing. That was connected with the fact that biochar-nitrogen was mainly in pyridinic and pyrrolic forms, while oxygen was in the form of C = O and C–O bonds. These forms of nitrogen and oxygen could be the receptors of hydrogen bonds to link to H<sub>2</sub>O molecules. Aliphatic hydrogen with a weak positive charge could be a donor of hydrogen bonds to link to H<sub>2</sub>O molecules. However, high carbon content, as well as high SSA, indicated more exposed aromatic carbon (hydrophobic sites) that could suppress the binding of H<sub>2</sub>O molecules. Additionally, high pH indicated that H<sub>2</sub>O molecules were dominated by OH<sup>–</sup>, which generated strong electrostatic repulsion with the negatively charged nitrogen- and oxygen-containing groups of biochar. It was also shown that the nitrogen-containing groups played a more important role (importance – 0.31) in WHC of the biochar than other parameters, including carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, ash contents, pH, SSA (importance from 0.02 to 0.09). Nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon contents had the most important influence on the evaporation of biochar-bound water in all studied factors. Furthermore, wheat straw biochar produced at low pyrolysis temperatures in N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere (with high nitrogen and oxygen contents) had the highest WHC and the lowest evaporation of biochar-bound water. Consequently, it can be suggested that biochar rich in nitrogen can be an effective water retention agent and can improve agricultural soil moisture.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":8789,"journal":{"name":"Biochar","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140311501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, endogenous SOM in a paddy soil was substantially removed to understand its roles on As immobilization by biochar-supported zero-valent iron (ZVI/BC). The results demonstrated that ZVI/BC application significantly decreased As bioavailability by 64.2% compared with the control soil under the anaerobic condition. XPS and HR-TEM suggested As immobilization by ZVI/BC mainly invoked the formation of ternary complexes (i.e., As-Fe-SOM). However, SOM depletion compromised the efficacy of ZVI/BC for As immobilization by 289.8%. This is likely because SOM depletion increased the fulvic acid and OH<sup>−</sup> contents in soils. Besides, ZVI/BC increased the proportion of As(III) in available As fraction, but SOM depletion altered the mechanisms associated with As(V) reduction. That is, As(V) reduction resulted from the reductive capacity of ZVI in the pristine soil, but the As(V)-reducing bacteria contributed greater to As(V) reduction in the SOM-depleted soil. Additionally, SOM depletion boosted the abundances of Fe(III)- and As(V)-reducing bacteria such as <i>Bacillus</i> and <i>Ammoniphilus</i> in soils, which enhanced the dissimilatory arsenate reduction.

The pore structure of lignin-impregnated biochar was significantly affected by the impregnation ratio. The maximum specific surface area of 377.32 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup> and micropore volume of 0.163 cm<sup>3</sup> g<sup>−1</sup> were observed on the biochar with an impregnation ratio of 1:20 (mass ratio of lignin to biochar). Lignin impregnation increased the CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capacity of biochar up to 134.46 mg g<sup>−1</sup>. Correlation analysis confirmed the crucial role of biochar’s pore structure in adsorption. The Avrami model fitted the CO<sub>2</sub> capture curves well. The calculation of adsorption activation energy suggested that the adsorption process was dominated by physical mechanism assisted with partial chemical mechanism. Meanwhile, Langmuir isotherm analysis indicated that lignin impregnation transformed the larger pores of biochar into more uniform micropores, thereby making the adsorption process closer to monolayer adsorption. Both the high reusability (89.79–99.06%) after 10 successive cycles and the excellent CO<sub>2</sub> selectivity in competitive adsorption confirmed that lignin-impregnated biochar is an outstanding adsorbent for CO<sub>2</sub> capture.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":8789,"journal":{"name":"Biochar","volume":"199 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140074004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
