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.
