Biochar reduced the mineralization of native and added soil organic carbon: evidence of negative priming and enhanced microbial carbon use efficiency

Biochar
Biochar showed additional C storage ability by preserving SOC from mineralization (negative priming) and stabilizing added labile organic substrate Biochar (30 Mg ha^−1) significantly increased microbial carbon use efficiency Biochar increased the ...

Baseline Characteristics of Pristine Agricultural Pods Biochar

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The valorization of agricultural pod wastes into biochar offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and the development of functional carbonaceous materials. This study comparatively evaluates biochars produced from cocoa, flamboyant, and locust bean pods using an autothermal top‐lit updraft gasifier with retort heating, a system ...

Evaluation of Air Inlet Configuration's Effect on Biochar Properties From African Mesquite Pod Carbonization

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The suboptimal efficiency of current biomass conversion processes necessitates the optimization of biochar production methodologies to enhance desired biochar characteristics. In this study, an investigation was conducted to determine the optimal air inlet configuration within a top‐lit updraft gasifier system for enhancing biochar properties ...
