Can biochar ameliorate phosphorus deficiency and aluminium phytotoxicity in acid soils? : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2015
The use of biochar as soil amendment to enhance soil functionality is being increasingly investigated, with particular attention given to its effects on the sustainable increase of crop production and carbon (C) sequestration. To date, however, limited

Adsorption Characteristics and Mechanisms of Dibutyl Phthalate on Nanomaterials

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a widely used plasticizer whose environmental release poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. This study systematically investigated DBP adsorption on three common nanomaterials—titanium dioxide nanoparticles (n‐TiO2), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and carboxylated MWCNTs (MWCNTs‐COOH)—using ...

Conversation of pesticide residues into ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N) through AOPs and its fertilization effect on lettuce growth

Biochar
Eliminating pesticide residues in soil through the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) has been attracted a lot of attention in recent years. However, the potential of converting them into small molecular nutrients such as ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N) has

Corn cob biochar increases soil culturable bacterial abundance without enhancing their capacities in utilizing carbon sources in Biolog Eco-plates

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
Biochar has been shown to influence soil microbial communities in terms of their abundance and diversity. However, the relationship among microbial abundance, structure and C metabolic traits is not well studied under biochar application.

Biochar as a Soil Amendment: A Review of the Environmental Implications [PDF]

, 2008
The term 'biochar' refers to black carbon formed by the pyrolysis of biomass i.e. by heating biomass in an oxygen-free or low oxygen environment such that it does not (or only partially) combusts.

Advanced Investigation of the Elimination of Methylene Blue From Wastewater Using Activated Carbon–Copper Oxide Nanowires: New Perspectives With Statistical Physical Modeling

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the actual route of methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption by using fabricated polyfunctional activated carbon–copper oxide nanowires (AC@CuO‐NWs) from bulky wastewater bodies has been investigated. To better understand the exact pathway of the adsorption process, a prominent statistical physics formalism or grand canonical ...

Technobiological Pathways for High‐CO₂ Capture Using Micro‐/Macroalgae: Genetic Engineering, Process Automation, and Value‐Added Bioproducts

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Contribution of Soluble Minerals in Biochar to Pb2+ Adsorption in Aqueous Solutions

BioResources, 2017
Biochar is widely used as an adsorbent to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. To investigate the contribution of soluble minerals (mainly anions) to Pb2+ removal in solution, wheat straw biochar was washed with deionized water to remove soluble ...
