Abstract:
Main aim of this project is to assess positive impact of biochar application into the environment using simulation of metal transport in contaminated soils by hydrogeochemical modelling. For this propose the project will be divided into following particular aims: (1) production and determination of main biochar characteristics; (2) laboratory production of the biochar; (3) numerical determination of hydropedological and geochemical parameters using column experiment; (4) multidisciplinary hydrogeochemical simulation of metal transport though the soil profile after biochar application; and (5) in situ field experiment and consequent multidimensional and multidisciplinary modelling programme.
