Biochar

see http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/02/10/3621142/national-academy-rejects-geoengineering/

The reports are available for purchase or (free) online reading or down load at http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18805/climate-intervention-carbon-dioxide-removal-and-reliable-sequestration

In particular see the top of page  39 for a summary of biochar issues.  However they do not address  solubility in any detail.

Joe Romm's office at US DOE funded part of  the technology transfer program that was 10% of my job at Hanford, so we had some direct contact.  I consider him honest, smart, and very competent on technologies related to pollution.  He is one of the very few people that could write intelligently about such documents so soon after their release.
