Applying Cassava Stems Biochar Produced from Agronomical Waste to Enhance the Yield and Productivity of Maize in Unfertile Soil

Fermentation, 2021
Many agronomical wastes are produced annually in significant amounts after cultivation, especially in agricultural countries. This study applied biochar produced from the pyrolysis of cassava stems to improve soil with low fertility for maize cultivation.

Emerging Investigators Series: Pyrolysis Removes Common Microconstituents Triclocarban, Triclosan, and Nonylphenol from Biosolids [PDF]

, 2016
Reusing biosolids is vital for the sustainability of wastewater management. Pyrolysis is an anoxic thermal degradation process that can be used to convert biosolids into energy rich py-gas and py-oil, and a beneficial soil amendment, biochar.

Effects of long-term biochar application combined with chemical fertilization on the nitrifier community in tobacco plantation soil

Frontiers in Microbiology
Soil nitrogen (N) plays a critical role in plant nutrition and is regulated by the process of nitrification. Biochar can enhance soil N concentration and is hypothesized to influence nitrification, particularly when applied in combination with chemical ...

The electron donating capacity of biochar is dramatically underestimated [PDF]

, 2016
Biochars have gathered considerable interest for agronomic and engineering applications. In addition to their high sorption ability, biochars have been shown to accept or donate considerable amounts of electrons to/from their environment via abiotic or ...

Tuning Li+ and Na+ Functionality in Renewable Carbon Electroactive Material Through Site‐Specific Nanostructural Disorder

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a selective thermal transformation of polycarbonate into hybrid carbon materials. The structured carbon enhances electrochemical performance, particularly in lithium‐ion systems. Investigations reveal improved bimetallic ion diffusivity through the hybrid microstructure, contributing to excellent charge kinetics.

Long-term fertilization regimes modulate dissolved organic matter molecular chemodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions in paddy soil

Biochar
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key factor in soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). However, the molecular-level change of soil DOM and the implications of GHGs under different long-term fertilization regimes (LFRs) remain ...

Research on the Detoxification of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash: Organic Acid Washing Pretreatment Coupled With Cement/DDTC Stabilization

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metals in municipal waste incineration fly ash are potentially harmful to the ecological environment and human health. To mitigate the hazards of fly ash, this study attempts to detoxify fly ash through organic acid washing pretreatment coupled with cement/sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) solidification.
