Description: Pyrolysis stands out as an effective method for the disposal of phytoremediation residues in abandoned mines, yielding a valuable by-product, biochar. However, the environmental application of biochar derived from such residues is limited by the potential environmental risks of heavy metals. Herein, Miscanthus sp. residues from abandoned mines were pyrolyzed into biochars at varied pyrolysis temperatures (300-700 °C) to facilitate the safe reuse of phytoremediation residues. The results showed that pyrolysis significantly stabilizes heavy metals in biomass, with Cd exhibiting the most notable stabilization effect. Acid-soluble/exchangeable and reducible fractions of Cd decreased significantly from 69.91 % to 2.52 %, and oxidizable and residue fractions increased approximately 3.24 times at 700 °C. The environmental risk assessment indicated that biochar pyrolyzed over 500 °C pose lower environmental risk (RI
