Influence of pyrolysis temperature on biochar stability and leaching properties of nutrients contained in biochar
The biochar was produced from sewage sludge by pyrolysis at 300
500 and 700 ℃. In this study the biochar degradation rate represented by CO2 release rate through alkali absorption method in microbial incubation was investigated and the half-life using a recommended prediction method was predicted. In addition
deionized water was used to investigate the content and leaching properties of the water-soluble nutrients contained in biochar. During the temperature range of 300—700℃
the biochar produced at higher temperature was degraded slowly and had longer half-life
which may exist in soil for a longer time span and then perform a better effect on carbon sequestration than that produced at lower temperature. However
biochar produced at lower temperature contained more water-soluble N and K but less water-soluble P
which was agreed with the concentration of leaching nutrients. The leaching water of biochar produced at lower temperature also contained more much water-soluble N and K but less water-soluble P.
