      abstract     = {Ore mining and other industrial processes can release toxic
                      elements such as zinc and cadmium into the soil, posing a
                      potential environmental risk. Biochar produced by biomass
                      pyrolysis is proposed to treat contaminated soils by
                      sorption of the contaminants while boosting soil fertility,
                      water retention, and microbial activity. Here, we propose
                      the utilization of Carbokalk, an inexpensive byproduct
                      (spent lime, SL) of the sugar-beet industry, as an ideal
                      source for soil-treatment biochar. We examined the pyrolysis
                      of SL containing up to $20\%$ organic matter at various
                      temperatures and in an oxidizing (air) and inert (N2)
                      atmosphere. Our results indicate that the pyrolysis
                      temperatures and gas atmospheres greatly influence the
                      physicochemical features of SL-biochar, identifying the most
                      suitable temperature of 600 ºC for both atmospheres.
                      SL-biochar incubation in contaminated soil has shown the
                      potential to mitigate metal contamination in soils. However,
                      under an oxidizing atmosphere, SL-biochar provides higher
                      reductions in exchangeable Zn and Cd fractions. It accounts
                      for $3\%$ and $20\%,$ respectively, along with increases in
                      fractions associated with carbonate and organic matter.
                      These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of SL-biochar
                      in immobilizing these contaminants.},
