[Stoves] New paper on atmospheric Black Carbon

[Carefreeland at aol.com]

Alex, 
    I know a piece of property well that would  benefit from this 
treatment. It would have been a city park by now if not  for a trace of arsenic, 
crankcase oil and diesel fuel. It was the old clean  hard filled gravel pit I 
used to work off of. I think much of the contamination  is leaching in from 
the neighbors property which was not filled so clean. The  property is for 
sale in prime territory.

Dan,
It is being studied widely. Everything from  pesticides, PCB's and 
miscelaneous hydrocarbons to specific heavy metals.  Biochar gets compared straight 
up with Granular Activated Carbons, with some  added agronomic benefits. 
That is where it could scale up in the near  term.

I wonder if anyone has tried to clean up contaminated land with  biochar?  
What effect would it have on heavy metals or oil based  contaminants? Lots 
of prime real estate worthless because of trace  contaminants.
