Ecotoxicity Tests for Compost Applications
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2001 Interest in the ecological effects of composting has been growing recently. However, no established methods are available for testing the toxicity of composted materials. Despite this, international and national quality requirements define that compost shall not contain any environmentally harmful substances. Safety requirements have to be fulfilled if

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Solvent washing of coffee‐ground hydrochars produces activated carbons with tunable pore sizes while maintaining surface area. Removing non‐polar contaminants enhances microporosity, increasing CO2 uptake by 40%. Moderate pore sizes (9–12 Å) yield optimal CO2:N2 selectivity, whereas smaller pores reduce selectivity due to stronger interactions between ...
