Comparison of plant growth and remediation potential of pyrochar and thermal desorption for crude oil-contaminated soils

Abstract Crude oil contamination is a serious environmental threat for soil and plants growing in it. This study provides the first experimental evidence for comparison of the efficacy of pyrochar (slow pyrolysis biochar), thermal desorption and their combined application for degradation of crude oi...
