Soil Remediation
Biochar can remove organic and inorganic contaminants from soil
.avif)
Biochar's porous and chemically stable nature makes it effective at adsorbing contaminants, such as heavy metals and organic compounds from soil, restoring it and reducing health and environmental impacts.
The surface area of biochar is linked to its porosity. Biochar with a high surface area possess a higher water Holding Capacity (WHC) and can support greater microbial life (given microbes like to live in biochar pores.)
CEC measures the product's ability to hold and exchange positively charged ions (cations) like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Biochar can boost soil's CEC, leading to more nutrient retention (avoiding leaching) and reliable nutrients supply to plants over time.
Biochar can contain beneficial microorganisms that are already present within it, which can help improve soil health. Additionally, biochar's porous structure and surface chemistry provide an ideal habitat for microbes from the surrounding soil to colonise.
How biochar can remediate soil
Application: Depending on level and type of contamination
Adsorption: Pollutants can be physically absorbed by porous structures, with the adsorption process being significantly influenced by the relationship between surface area and porosity.
Removal: In most cases the biochar does not need to be removed, as the contaminants become 'locked up' in the biochar eliminating their impact on the soil.
