Physico-chemical characterization of biochars from solid municipal waste for use in soil amendment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The fast economic and demographic growth lead to generation of large amounts of solid wastes placing Qatar on top of most nations with a per capita solid waste generation of nearly 2.5 milliontons/year of which 60% is ...
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 ...
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 ...
Synthesis of iron modified rice straw biochar toward arsenic from groundwater
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
The potential of Fe modified biochar (BC) as an alternative, inexpensive adsorbent for removing As(V) from wastewater was investigated. BC was synthesized from the slow pyrolysis of rice straw and then modified with FeCl3. ...
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 ...
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 ...
A state-of-the-art review on producing engineered biochar from shellfish waste and its application in aquaculture wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Global production of shellfish aquaculture is steadily increasing owing to the growing market demands for shellfish. The intensification of shellfish aquaculture to maximize production rate has led to increased generation ...
A state-of-the-art review on spent coffee ground (SCG) pyrolysis for future biorefinery
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Coffee is a globally consumed beverage that produces a substantial amount of valuable organic waste known as spent coffee grounds (SCG). Although SCG is a non-edible biomass, research initiatives focused on valorizing/utilizing ...
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 ...
Short-term greenhouse emission lowering effect of biochars from solid organic municipal wastes
(
Center for Environmental and Energy Research and Studies
, 2018 , Article)
Qatar economy has been growing rapidly during the last two decades during which waste generation and greenhouse gas emissions increased exponentially making them among the main environmental challenges facing the country. ...
