Characteristics of Straw Biochar and its Influence on the Forms of Arsenic in Heavy Metal Polluted Soil

Abstract:

The objective of the study was the determination of the characteristics and the potential of remediation As polluted soil of three different biochars and straws. Results showed that biochar has better properties and microstructure for heavy metals remediation. Short-term incubation remediation experiments showed that biochars could decreased biological toxicity and mobility of As.
