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 ...
ADSORPTION CAPACITY, STRUCTURE AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF ACTIVATED CARBONS PRODUCED FROM PISTACIA LENTISCUS BYPRODUCT
(
International Multidisciplinary Scientific Geoconference
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
There are two main sources of activated carbon production - coal and lignocelullosic materials. Recently, scientists have been focused on activated carbon preparation based on agricultural waste and lignocelluloses materials, ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
