Cost-effectively improving the performance of biochar is essential for its large-scale practical application. In this work, the agro-industrial by-products copper slag and tobacco straw were employed for the preparation of modified biochar (CSBC). The obtained CSBC exhibited satisfactory capacity on Se(IV) immobilization of 190.53 mg/g, with surface interactions determined by the monolayer and mainly chemisorption. The removal mechanisms included chemical reduction, electrostatic attraction, co-precipitation, and formation of complexations. Interestingly, the existence of CuSe structure after adsorption indicated the involvement of Cu species within Se(IV) elimination. Moreover, the industrial agricultural practicality of CSBC was evaluated by regeneration tests, economic assessment, and pot experiments. The results demonstrate that iron species-modified biochar prepared from two agro-industrial by-products is a promising and feasible candidate for selenite removal from wastewater.

Soil salinity is represent a significant environmental stressor that profoundly impairs crop productivity by disrupting plant physiological functions. To mitigate this issue, the combined application of biochar and nanoparticles has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance plant salt tolerance. However, the long-term residual effects of this approach on cereal crops remain unclear.

Simultaneous CO/NO removal from flue gas is extensively attracted to meet the goal of atmospheric pollutant and carbon mitigations. An optimized CaO-CO system via the design of the bio-modified calcium-based pellet is proposed in which the pyrolysis of biomass ensures efficient CO/NO removal. Since the type of biomass shows great influence on the characteristics of pyrolysis products which may influence the behavior of reaction, the correlations of characteristics of biomass structural components, modified Ca-sorbent, and CO/NO removal reactivity were established with the support of experimental results and Density functional theory (DFT) calculation.

Introduction: To address the scarcity of agricultural phosphorus (P) fertilizers and reduce phosphorus accumulation in wastewater, this study employed iron-modified biochar (Fe-B) to adsorb phosphorus from water. The phosphorus-loaded iron-modified biochar (Fe-BP) was subsequently applied to peanut fields. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the optimal adsorption parameters and mechanism of Fe-B for phosphate ions (PO ).

Increasing antimony (Sb) pollution has become a global concern, but there is still a lack of economically efficient adsorbents for its remediation. In this study, a novel remediation material was developed by precipitating TiO onto waste herb-residue biochar (named TBC). The effectiveness and adsorption mechanisms of the material for Sb(III) removal were investigated through adsorption experiments, and the enhancement pathway of traditional herb decoction on the effectiveness of modified biochar was analyzed.

Arsenic (As) is a non-essential carcinogenic metalloid and an issue of concern for rice crops. This study investigated the effects of sulfur-loaded tea waste biochar (TWB) due to modification with sodium sulfide (SSTWB) or thiourea (TUTWB) on As stress and accumulation in rice plants. The results showed that sulfur-modified TWB improved plant morphology compared to plants grown in As-contaminated soil alone.
