Research progress in effects of biochar on transport of inorganic pollutants in soil by ZHANG Dong, LIU Xingyuan, ZHAO Hongting

“…The sorption mechanisms of inorganic pollutants such as heavy metal, radioactive elements, nitrogen and phosphate were summarized as well as their potential applications in real soil condition. Several different possible mechanisms were proposed: 1) electrostatic outersphere complexation due to surface cationic exchange;2) surface complexation with active O-containing functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups;3) electrostatic attraction of anionic inorganic pollutants such as phosphate and arsenic to protonated groups under alkaline pH;4) co-precipitation of heavy metal and phosphate with organic matter and mineral oxides on surface of the biochar or pre-sorbed metal ions;5) specific binding of iodide with aromatic carbon in biochar;6) to donate electrons for mitigating/reducing heavy metal such as chromium;7) physical adsorption of heavy metals onto biochar’s surface;8) changing the pH of point of zero charge (pH_pzc) to immobilize or mobilize heavy metals.Generally and undoubtedly, the use of biochar as an environmental sorbent can have strong implications. …”
