Copyrolysis of Biomass with Phosphate Fertilizers To Improve Biochar Carbon Retention, Slow Nutrient Release, and Stabilize Heavy Metals in Soil
Abstract
Two phosphate fertilizers, triple superphosphate (TSP) and bone meal (BM), were premixed with sawdust and switchgrass biomass for pyrolytic biochar formation. Carbon retention, P release kinetics, and capacity of biochar for stabilizing heavy metals in soil were evaluated. Results show that TSP and BM pretreatment increased carbon retention from 53.5–55.0% to 68.4–74.7% and 58.5–59.2%, respectively. The rate constants ( k 2 ) of P release from the TSP- and BM-composite biochars are 0.0012–0.0024 and 0.89–0.91, respectively, being much lower than TSP and BM themselves (0.012 and 1.79, respectively). Copyrolysis with phosphate fertilizers enhanced biochar capability for stabilizing metals in soil significantly, especially the BM-composite biochar which increased Pb, Cu, and Cd stabilization rates by up to about 4, 2, and 1 times, compared to the pristine biochars. During the pyrolysis process, Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 in TSP converted to Ca 2 P 2 O 7 and reacted with biomass carbon to form C–O–PO 3 or C–P, leading to greater carbon retention and lower P release. PO 4 3– in both composite biochars could precipitate with heavy metals, resulting heavy metal immobilization in soil. This study indicates that copyrolysis of biomass with P-containing fertilizers could obtain multiple environmental benefits.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
