Chitosan-modified biochar （CBC） was prepared as a low-cost and highly efficient adsorbent for Cd in aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the adsorption performance. Characterization experiments with SEM-EDS， FTIR， and XPS were used to analyze the surface microstructure and chemical composition of the adsorbent. The results showed that the adsorption performance of CBC was remarkably improved by the introduction of surface functional groups （-OH， -C=O， and -NH）. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model were better for describing the kinetics and isotherms for Cd adsorption onto CBC， indicating that the adsorption rate was determined by the active sites and controlled by monolayer chemisorption. The adsorption process was endothermic spontaneous， and the key mechanisms involved complexation， precipitation， cation exchange， and cation-π bonds. After five instances of adsorption-desorption cycles， the adsorption capacity of CBC for Cd still remained above 80% of the initial adsorption capacity， indicating that CBC had a favorable recyclability. The current work embodies the concept of green chemistry， and the prepared chitosan-modified biochar was a promising adsorbent for the removal of Cd in wastewater and soil.

This study presents the synthesis and evaluation of a magnetic chitosan-modified biochar (M-BC-CS) composite, developed from waste maize straw, for the efficient removal of copper ions (Cu) and methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. The composite was characterized using advanced techniques such as SEM, BET, FTIR, XPS, and XRD, confirming its enhanced surface area, porosity, and magnetic properties. The study is aimed at investigating the optimal conditions for adsorption of Cu and MB by M-BC-CS through analysis of the influence of diverse adsorbent dosages, pH levels, reaction times, and initial solution concentrations.

To explore the remediation mechanism of chitosan-modified biochar （passivator） on Cd-contaminated farmland soil, pot experiments were conducted to determine the effects of passivator on soil physical and chemical properties, ryegrass biomass, enzyme activity, and the response of soil bacterial diversity and structure. The results showed that when the amount of passivating agent was increased from 0.5% to 3%, the content of available Cd in soil was significantly decreased compared with that in the control, and the above-ground and subsurface biomass of ryegrass was increased by 1.

Biochar could reshape microbial communities, thereby altering methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in rice rhizosphere and seeds. However, it remains unclear whether and how biochar amendment perturbs microbe-mediated MeHg production in mercury (Hg) contaminated paddy soil. Here, we used pinecone-derived biochar and its six modified biochars to reveal the disturbance.
