Abstract Developing countries, especially those in hot and dry areas, need more attention to achieve sustainable development as they apply excessive inputs in production processes. The present study aims to quantify the amount of environmental emissions and determine the most appropriate pattern of energy use in the date (Phoenix dactylifera L ...

Biochars at the molecular level. Part 1 -- Insights into the molecular structures within biochars [PDF]
Biochars are black carbonaceous solids produced through biomass pyrolysis under conditions of little or no oxygen. Whilst their properties are well studied, and their applications numerous, the underlying molecular structures within biochars still need to be defined.

Biochars at the molecular level. Part 2 -- Development of realistic molecular models of biochars [PDF]
Biochars have been attracting renewed attention as economical and environmentally friendly carbon sequestration materials with a diverse range of applications. However, experimental developments may be limited by the lack of molecular-level knowledge of the key interactions driving these applications.

Selective copper recovery from ammoniacal waste streams using a systematic biosorption process [PDF]
Cu-NH3 bearing effluents arise from electroplating and metal extraction industries, requiring innovative and sustainable Cu recovery technologies to reduce their adverse environmental impact. CO32- and Zn are often co-occurring, and thus, selective Cu recovery from these complex liquid streams is required for economic viability.

Effect of biochar on the greenhouse gas emissions from farmland and its physicochemical properties
To investigate the effects of biochar on greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by static chamber-gas chromatograph method, a field experiment with three treatments was conducted: soil without fertilizer (CK), soil with conventional fertilizer (N) and soil with
