Herein, 7,308 relevant documents on biochar application for the remediation of heavy metal (HM)-contaminated soil (BARHMCS) from 1991 to 2020 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection and subjected to bibliometric and knowledge mapping analyses to provide a global perspective. The results showed that (1) the number of publications increased over time and could be divided into two subperiods, , the slow growth period (SGP) and rapid growth period (RGP), according to whether the annual publication number was ≥300. (2) A total of 126 countries, 741 institutions, and 1,021 scholars have contributed to this field. (3) These studies are mainly published in , etc., and are mainly based on the categories of environmental science, soil science, and environmental engineering. (4) The top five keyword clusters for the SGP were biochar, biochar, sorption, charcoal, and HMs, and those for the RGP were adsorption, black carbon, nitrous oxide, cadmium, and pyrolysis. (5) The main knowledge domains and the most cited references during the SGP and RGP were discussed. (6) Future directions are related to biochar application for plant remediation, the mitigation of climate change through increased carbon sequestration, biochar modification, and biochar for HMs and multiple organic pollutants.

The impact of straw and biochar on carbon mineralization and the function of carbon cycle genes in paddy soil is important for soil nutrient management and the transformation of carbon pools. This research is based on a five-year field experiment with four treatments: no fertilizer application (CK); chemical fertilizer only (NPK); straw combined with chemical fertilizer (NPKS); and biochar combined with chemical fertilizer (NPKB). By integrating indoor mineralization culture with metagenomic approaches, we analyzed the response of organic carbon mineralization and carbon cycle genes in typical paddy soil from Guizhou Province, China, to different fertilization treatments.

Tobacco, being a globally cultivated crop, holds significant social and economic importance. Tobacco plants are susceptible to the adverse effects of heavy metals (HMs), particularly cadmium (Cd), which hinders root development, disrupts water balance, and impedes nutrient absorption. Higher concentrations of HMs, especially Cd, naturally accumulate in tobacco leaves due to complex interactions within the plant-soil continuum.

Although the use of biochar as an adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants from wastewater is well established, the use of biochar/modified biochar for the scavenging of antibiotics from aqueous media in the Fenton-like system receives less attention. The highest kasugamycin (KSM) adsorption capacity (5.0 mg g) was obtained from the pristine biochar at the lowest initial pH of 3 in Fenton-like system.

A convenient method is proposed using a heat-treatable volatile template to prepare hierarchical porous biochar (HPB). Litsea cubeba leaves and ZIF-8 served as carbon source and volatile hard template, respectively. The good compatibility between ZIF-8 and biomass facilitated their uniform dispersion, and the thermal decomposition of ZIF-8 created abundant pores in the HPB.

Enhanced microbial remediation represents a promising technique for the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, high-efficiency remediation agents remain limited, including microbial resources and remediation materials. In this study, a novel strain of Pseudomonas xizangensis S4 was isolated from plateau lake sediment, exhibiting a fluoranthene degradation rate of 41.
