Edible mushroom cultivation is an important industry in intensively managed forest understories. However, proper disposal of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) presents a challenge to its sustainable development. Biochar derived from SMS could be used to improve soil quality while providing a solution for SMS disposal. But SMS biochar pyrolyzed at different temperatures may alter carbon dioxide (CO) and nitrous oxide (NO) emissions associated with global warming, especially under the context of nitrogen (N) addition and warming. We conducted a factorial incubation study to examine greenhouse gas emissions and N transformations in moso bamboo forest soil amended with SMS-biochar (control vs. pyrolyzed at 300, 450 or 600 °C) in different N-addition (0 or 100 mg N kg soil) and temperature (20, 25 or 30 °C) treatments. Pyrolysis temperature affected pH, C and N of SMS-biochars. N-transformations depended on the interaction of pyrolysis temperature, N-addition, and incubation temperature but were generally lower with 450 °C biochar addition. Soil NO emissions increased with N-addition and they were more sensitive to incubation temperatures without biochar. Soil CO emissions increased with incubation temperature or biochar pyrolyzed at lower temperatures. Pyrolysis temperature might have regulated the effects of SMS-derived biochar on NO emissions via changes in dissolved C, N, pH and associated changes in soil microbial community compositions. Because of the importance of sustainable development of this understory industry, amending soils with biochar produced at higher temperatures may be the best strategy for both the disposal of SMS and the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

Developing hybrid fluorescence (FL)/room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials in dry-state, aqueous, and organic solvents holds paramount importance in broadening their applications. However, it is extremely challenging due to dissolved oxygen and solvent-assisted relaxation causing RTP quenching in an aqueous environment and great dependence on SiO-based materials. Herein, an efficient endogenetic carbon dot (CD) strategy within melamine-formaldehyde (MF) microspheres to activate RTP of CDs has been proposed through the pyrolysis of isophthalic acid (IPA) molecules and branched-chain intra-microspheres.

Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries has attracted worldwide attention to ensure sustainability of electric vehicle industry. Pretreatment as an essential step for recycling of spent LIBs is critical to ensure the recovery efficiency and quality of black mass which is used for further materials regeneration. Usually, high temperature pyrolysis, at around 600 °C is required during the pretreatment to achieve effective separation of the black mass that is binding on aluminium foils with polyvinylidene fluoride binder.

Cadmium （Cd） and arsenic （As） often coexist in water and agricultural soils around mining areas, and it is difficult to remove them at the same time due to their opposite chemical behaviors. Therefore, this study employed a co-precipitation-pyrolysis method to synthesize silica-based magnetic biochar （SMB） materials for the remediation of water contaminated with both Cd and As. The optimization of preparation conditions involved introducing three different types of silicates （NaSiO, CaSiO,and SiO） into the biomass-magnetite mixture, followed by pyrolysis at various temperatures （300℃, 500℃, and 700℃）, and the optimal preparation conditions were determined based on the composite batch experiments.

Contamination of chars with dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCB) significantly limits their use and hinders their deployment in the circular bioeconomy, specifically in applications that may lead to dietary exposure. Here, for the first time, we review the levels of contamination of chars produced from pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) with dl-PCB congeners. We conduct a detailed and critical examination of the role played by the processing parameters, such as temperature and residence time, and the reaction mechanisms, to detoxify the biomass under an oxygen-free atmosphere during its valorisation.
