Environmental applications of tomato processing by-products
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Sustainable management of large amounts of tomato wastes generated during industrial processing is nowadays considered as an urgent challenge. In this chapter, recent investigations on the environmental application of ... -
Nutrient retention and release from raw exhausted grape marc biochars and an amended agricultural soil: Static and dynamic investigation
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Biochar is the solid by-product of biomass thermochemical conversion via pyrolysis technique. Biochar addition to croplands as an organic amendment can improve soil properties and increase agricultural productivity. However, ... -
Pyrolysis Process as a Sustainable Management Option of Poultry Manure: Characterization of the Derived Biochars and Assessment of their Nutrient Release Capacities
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Raw poultry manure (RPM) and its derived biochars at temperatures of 400 (B400) and 600 ◦C (B600) were physico-chemically characterized, and their ability to release nutrients was assessed under static conditions. The ... -
Sludge-derived biochars: A review on the influence of synthesis conditions on pollutants removal efficiency from wastewaters
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that permits the conversion of biomasses into energy (bio-oil and biogas) and a solid residue called biochar. The generation of biochar from lignocellulosic materials has been, for ... -
Static and dynamic investigations on leaching/retention of nutrients from raw poultry manure biochars and amended agricultural soil
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)In this study, nutrients release/adsorption from/by raw poultry manure-derived biochar produced at a pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C (RPM-B) was assessed under static and dynamic conditions. Batch sequential leaching ... -
Use of lignite as a low-cost material for cadmium and copper removal from aqueous solutions: Assessment of adsorption characteristics and exploration of involved mechanisms
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Lignite, as an available and low-cost material, was tested for cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) removal from aqueous solutions under various static experimental conditions. Experimental results showed that the removal efficiency ... -
Use of waste marble powder for the synthesis of novel calcium-rich biochar: Characterization and application for phosphorus recovery in continuous stirring tank reactors
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This study investigates—for the first time—the synthesis of a novel Ca-rich biochar (N–Ca–B) and its potential use for phosphorus (P) recovery from both synthetic solutions (SS) and treated urban wastewater (TUW) in a ... -
Valorization of salt post-modified poultry manure biochars for phosphorus recovery from aqueous solutions: investigations on adsorption properties and involved mechanism
( Springer , 2021 , Article)In this research work, raw poultry manure biochar (RPM-B) was post-modified by two metal salts and then evaluated for P recovery from aqueous solutions in batch mode. The modified biochar characterization showed that RPM-B ...
