Zhundong coal has very high content of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs), which will product many fine particles with aerodynamic size less than 10 μm (PM10) during combustion and gasification, resulting in many ash related problems. In order to characterize property of fine...

As the regulator of constructed wetlands (CWs), biochar is often used to enhance pollutant removal and reduce greenhouse gas emission. Biochar is proved to have certain effects on microbial populations, but its effect on the aggregation of microbial flocs and the formation of biofilms in CWs has...
