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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Novel activation of peroxymonosulfate by biochar derived from rice husk toward oxidation of organic contaminants in wastewater
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, novel activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by biochar derived from rice husk (generally considered useless agricultural wastes in Vietnam) toward organic pollutants from wastewater was investigated. The ...
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 ...
The Potential of Biochar Application to Enhance Soil Quality, Yield, and Growth of Wheat and Barley Under Rainfed Conditions
(
Springer Link
, 2023 , Article)
Biochar (BC) is a carbon-rich product obtained by heating biomass in a closed system with a finite amount of oxygen. BC has gained significant attention in agriculture as a soil amendment. This study investigated the effect ...
