Biochar: Fundamentals and Applications in Environmental Science and Remediation Technologies, Volume Six provides readers with the fundamentals of scientific and technological aspects of biochar application in stormwater treatment, its use in contaminant removal, greenhouse gas mitigation, as landfill cover material, and new environmental and agronomic applications. Chapters in this new release cover Biochar application for soil remediation in a redox-sensitive environment, Remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil: Role of biochar, Role of biochar as a cover material in Landfill waste disposal system- Perspective from Unsaturated soil mechanics, Biochar in soil re-engineering, Green remediation of contaminated agricultural land using biochar, and more.
Additional chapters cover the Impact of biochars on redox processes in soils, Biochar for manipulation of manure properties, A relationship paradigm between biochar amendments and green house gas emissions, Biochar amalgamation with clay: Enhanced performance for environmental remediation, Functionalization of biochar using microbial consortia, and the Potential role of biochar to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on water quality.
