Zhang, C.; Zeng, G.; Huang, D.; Lai, C.; Chen, M.; Cheng, M. et al. (2019): Biochar for environmental management. Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, contaminant treatment, and potential negative impacts. In: Chemical Engineering Journal 373, S. 902–922. DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2019.05.139.

„This review provides new insights into the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the utilization of biochar in environmental management and covers three perspectives: firstly, mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as sequestration of CO2 and CH4 in global carbon pools and mitigation of N2O emissions; secondly, pollution control, including adsorptive removal and reactive removal of inorganic and organic contaminants; thirdly, potential negative aspects of biochar applications, including contaminations originated from biochar, negative alterations to soil properties and soil biota, negative impacts of biochar on GHG emissions and negative impacts of biochar migration.“
