• TITLE: Biochar in Nutrient Recycling—The Effect and Its Use in Wastewater Treatment

  AUTHORS: Bente Foereid

  KEYWORDS: Biochar, Nutrients, Wastewater Treatment

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Soil Science, Vol.5 No.2, January 27, 2015

  ABSTRACT: Biochar, i.e. charred organic material, appears to increase nutrient retention in soil. The mechanism for how this happens is not clear. Here two possible mechanisms, adsorption and microbial immobilisation, are suggested and compared. It is also suggested that we use biochar in wastewater treatment, and so potentially integrate it better into the total waste management cycle.
