Exergoenvironmental damages assessment in a desert‐based agricultural system: A case study of date production

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3155-3172, November/December 2022., 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2023
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]

open access: yesChemosphere 286, 131935 (2021), 2021
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.

Rape Straw Biochar Application Enhances Cadmium Immobilization by Promoting Formation of Sulfide and Poorly Crystallized Fe Oxide in Paddy Soils

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
The mechanisms of rape straw biochar that affect the fixation of cadmium (Cd) in paddy soil by influencing redox of iron and sulfur are unclear. Several anaerobic incubation experiments were carried out using Cd-contaminated paddy soils (LY and ZZ). Rape

Long-Term Effects of Straw and Straw-Derived Biochar on Humic Substances and Aggregate-Associated Humic Substances in Brown Earth Soil

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Turning maize straw into biochar is useful for improving soil fertility and mitigating climate change. However, the difference between straw and straw-derived biochar on soil aggregate associated humic substances has not been sufficiently studied in ...

Assessing the impacts of biochar‐blended urea on nitrogen use efficiency and soil retention in wheat production

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, 2022
Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) in crop plants is important to reduce the negative impact of excessive N on the environment. Although biochar‐blended fertilizer had been increasingly tested in crop production, the fate of fertilized N in soil

Effect of biochar on the greenhouse gas emissions from farmland and its physicochemical properties

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
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
