Comparisons of Biochar Properties from Wood Material and Crop Residues at Different Temperatures and Residence Times

Abstract

Biochar has been increasingly used as a method for C sequestration and soil improvement. To understand how feedstock and pyrolysis conditions affect biochar characteristics, we investigated two wood-based biochars (bamboo and elm) and five crop-residue-based biochars (wheat straw, rice straw, maize straw, rice husk, and coconut shell), which were pyrolyzed at 500 or 700 °C and remained at that temperature for 4, 8, and 16 h under oxygen-limited conditions. For a given feedstock, increasing pyrolysis temperature from 500 to 700 °C resulted in increases in ash content, BET surface area, pH, and total P and Ca contents ( P < 0.05) and decreases in yield, cation exchange capacity (CEC), total acid, and total N ( P < 0.01). Prolonging residence time (from 4 to 8 or 16 h), the BET surface area and ash content of biochars increased ( P < 0.05), whereas the yield decreased ( P < 0.01). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that more recalcitrant and aromatic structures were formed in the biochars with increased temperature. The three straw-based biochars consistently exhibited far greater ash percentage (14.5–40.3 wt %), CEC (14.1–34.8 cmol kg –1 ), and the contents of total N (0.24–2.81 wt %), P (0.60–8.41 wt %), Ca (0.63–1.48 wt %), and Mg (0.24–0.63 wt %) and generally had higher yield (19.0–37.6 wt %), pH (9.2–11.1), and contents of total acid (0.15–0.53 mmol g –1 ), C (41.7–55.1 wt %), Na (0.27–6.72 wt %), and K (6.56–28.1 wt %) than the two wood-based biochars. The BET surface area of straw-based biochars with 700 °C pyrolysis temperature could be mostly as high as 112–378 m 2 g –1, a comparable level with that of wood-based biochars. Despite the high variability in biochar properties, these results demonstrate that biochars from crop straw may be more effective and desirable for improving soil fertility and C sequestration in Chinese vast soils.

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.
