Biochar from olive mill solid waste as an eco-friendly adsorbent for the removal of polyphenols from olive mill wastewater
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)In Tunisia, olive mill waste water (OMW) is discharged into evaporation ponds where they turn into solid waste (OMSW) and become a serious threat to the environment. This paper addresses for the first time how to valorize ... -
Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass into bio-oils and other value-added products – A review
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is an effective method for the conversion of biomass into biofuel involving moderate temperature and high pressure. However, the yield and quality of bio-oil are not sufficient for ... -
CO2 methanation using sugarcane bagasse biochar/nickel sustainable catalysts
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methane is one of the promising gas phase reactions due to the well-established natural gas infrastructures and CO2 amounts consumed as reactants. This process supports in CO2 mitigation, ... -
Copper/nickel-decorated olive pit biochar: One pot solid state synthesis for environmental remediation
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Developing micro- and nanomaterials for environmental pollution remediation is currently a pertinent topic. Among the plethora of strategies, designing supported nanocatalysts for the degradation of pollutants has achieved ... -
Effect of biochars produced from solid organic municipal waste on soil quality parameters
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)Abstract New value-added uses for solid municipal waste are needed for environmental and economic sustainability. Fortunately, value-added biochars can be produced from mixed solid waste, thereby addressing solid waste ... -
Effect of Hydrothermal Carbonization Parameters and Performance of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on Pineapple Peel Waste Biochar
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2022 , Article)Low-cost biochar adsorbents were prepared from pineapple peel waste (PPW) via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for CO2 capture. The effects of hydrothermal carbonization temperature, retention time, and heating rate were ... -
Energy recovery and nutrients recycling from municipal sewage sludge
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) could be a promising and better alternative to other techniques for energy recovery from municipal sewage sludge (MSS). However, the nutrients (i.e., N, and P) recovery potential from the ... -
Enhanced adsorptive removal of rifampicin and tigecycline from single system using nano-ceria decorated biochar of mango seed kernel
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) represent an emerging class of contaminants. With a potential to negatively impact human health and the ecosystem, existence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic systems is becoming ... -
Herbal plants- and rice straw-derived biochars reduced metal mobilization in fishpond sediments and improved their potential as fertilizers
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Fishpond sediments are rich in organic carbon and nutrients; thus, they can be used as potential fertilizers and soil conditioners. However, sediments can be contaminated with toxic elements (TEs), which have to be immobilized ... -
Insight into the co-pyrolysis of different blended feedstocks to biochar for the adsorption of organic and inorganic pollutants: A review
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article Review)Co-pyrolysis of blended feedstocks has received increasing attention due to its significant role in avoiding the weakness of products made from normal pyrolysis of individual feedstocks. Many studies have shown that ... -
