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 ...
Pyrolysis of Canarium schweinfurthii hard-shell: Thermochemical characterisation and pyrolytic kinetics studies
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Canarium schweinfurthii fruit used in food and cosmetics produces waste nuts with a hard shell (hard-shell) and kernel. The hard-shell contained lignin and holocellulose, besides 51.99 wt% carbon, 6.0 wt% hydrogen, 41.68 wt% ...
Organic materials amendments can improve NPK availability and maize growth by reducing heavy metals stress in calcareous soil
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
The deficiency of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in calcareous soils of semi-arid climates is well recognized, and various green-based strategies have been employed to enhance their availability. However, the combined ...
A systematic review on the bioremediation of metal contaminated soils using biochar and slag: current status and future outlook
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article Review)
Heavy metals contaminated soils are posing severe threats to food safety worldwide. Heavy metals absorbed by plant roots from contaminated soils lead to severe plant development issues and a reduction in crop yield and ...
SYNTHESIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF GREEN ADSORBENTS FOR THE REMOVAL OF 2,4-DICHLOROPHENOL FROM THE WASTEWATER
(2023 , Master Thesis)
2, 4-Dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) is a water-soluble contaminant that is frequently discovered in wastewater from a variety of industries, including triclosan's aerobic breakdown and pharmaceutical and fungicide production ...
Aquaculture sediments amended with biochar improved soil health and plant growth in a degraded soil
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Sustainable and safe management of aquaculture sediments is of great concern. Biochar (BC) and fishpond sediments (FPS) are rich in organic carbon and nutrients and thus can be used as soil amendments; however, it is not ...
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 ...

This review examines in detail the production and characteristics of biochar resulting from hydrothermal liquefaction. Specifically, the impact of feedstocks and different process parameters on the properties and yield of ...
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 ...
