Foi investigada a aplica o de biochar em solos de argila arenosa para reduzir a lixivia o de poluentes org nicos, por exemplo, hidrocarbonetos, pesticidas ou antibi ticos. O biochar derivado da madeira avaliado no nosso estudo foi o co-produto s lido de um gasificador em escala real que alimenta uma central de produ o combinada de calor e electricidade. A investiga o visava demonstrar m ltiplos benef cios ambientais com a utiliza o inovadora deste biochar como corrector de solos. As experi ncias de sor o por lotes indicaram que o biochar adicionado ao solo aumentou os coeficientes de parti o. As experi ncias de lixivia o por coluna indicaram um caudal de gua porosa reduzido e, por conseguinte, uma redu o dos riscos de lixivia o de poluentes. Modelos num ricos interligaram observa es de estudo de lotes e colunas.
