Summary: The high moisture content in sewage sludge presents a challenge for its use in incineration or energy application, but the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process can overcome this issue. HTC process is more energy-efficient compared to other thermo-chemical management processes, producing energy-rich hydrochar products and enabling phosphorus recovery. The addition of organic acids, inorganic acids, and alkali as additives influences phosphorus transformation, yield, proximate analysis, and heating value of the produced hydrochar.

Summary: This study investigated the hydrothermal carbonization of various agricultural and forestry waste with biogas slurry to recover nutrients. The results showed that green bamboo was the most suitable biomass material for nitrogen recovery, while peanut straw was the best for phosphorus recovery. However, potassium could not be recovered through hydrothermal carbonization. The study also found that the total cellulosic content of the biomass influenced nitrogen recovery, and increased metal salt concentration promoted phosphorus recovery. The hydrochars obtained from different biomass samples had varying pore sizes, which had implications for nutrient slow-release and plant growth.

Summary: This study highlights the significant impacts of product recovery methods on the yields and properties of hydrochars produced from algal biomass through hydrothermal carbonization. Direct filtration results in higher hydrochar yield with residue biocrude, leading to considerable differences in properties compared to DCM-aided filtration. DCM-aided filtration produces hydrochars with lower volatile matter contents but higher fixed carbon and ash contents, showing greater specific reactivity due to higher concentrations of catalytic alkali and alkaline earth metals.

Summary: Hydrothermal carbonization improves the biomass quality and energy yield of rape straw. The properties of hydrochars produced at different temperatures and residence times were investigated. The results showed that increasing temperature had a more significant effect on hydrochar properties than residence time. The hydrochar structure was changed and became more stable after the aromatization reaction. The gasification reactivity of hydrochar was also affected, with the peak of pyrolysis and gasification shifting to a higher temperature region. Furthermore, hydrothermal carbonization efficiently reduced the content of alkali and alkaline earth metals, with the best removal condition observed at 200°C.

Summary: The structure and composition of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter varied significantly at different pyrolysis temperatures, impacting the binding properties of Cu(II) onto walnut-shell DOM. The preferential Cu(II) binding with fulvic-like and protein-like substances at different temperatures were observed, suggesting that pyrolysis temperature plays a crucial role in heavy metal behavior. The presence of DOM influenced the adsorption behavior of biochar towards Cu(II).

Summary: In this study, solvothermal carbon (STC) with high uranium (U(VI)) adsorption performance was synthesized from cotton stalk using a green and simple solvothermal carbonization method in a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of choline chloride and citric acid. The STC exhibited a maximum U(VI) adsorption capacity of 353 mg/g, a high product yield of 81%, and better performance compared to hydrothermal carbon (HTC). The results showed that STCs had higher carbonization degrees and richer carboxyl and phenol groups, which significantly enhanced the U(VI) adsorption. The STCs also exhibited stable U(VI) adsorption under various conditions and could be regenerated for multiple cycles without significant loss of adsorption performance. The study proposed a green and simple method for synthesizing STC from low-cost lignocellulosic biomass as a high-performance and reusable U(VI) adsorbent.

Summary: This review focuses on the development and application of lanthanum-engineered biochar (LEB) in environmental applications, highlighting the preparation processes, dominant lanthanum species, and adsorption capabilities of LEB. LEBs are prepared through pre-/post-doping methods, involving precipitation, gelation, and calcination. The dominant lanthanum species in LEBs is La(OH)3, formed through precipitation of La ions with various bases. LEBs exhibit high efficiency in the adsorption of phosphate, arsenic, antimonate, and fluoride ions, attributed to the strong affinity of lanthanum to oxyanions and Lewis hard base.
