Baseline Characteristics of Pristine Agricultural Pods Biochar

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The valorization of agricultural pod wastes into biochar offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and the development of functional carbonaceous materials. This study comparatively evaluates biochars produced from cocoa, flamboyant, and locust bean pods using an autothermal top‐lit updraft gasifier with retort heating, a system ...

Evaluation of Air Inlet Configuration's Effect on Biochar Properties From African Mesquite Pod Carbonization

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The suboptimal efficiency of current biomass conversion processes necessitates the optimization of biochar production methodologies to enhance desired biochar characteristics. In this study, an investigation was conducted to determine the optimal air inlet configuration within a top‐lit updraft gasifier system for enhancing biochar properties ...

Eggshell‐Based Biochar for Superior Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye and Fluoride From Wastewater

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Present study investigates the efficiency of eggshell biochar as a low‐cost and ecofriendly adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of fluoride ions and crystal violet (CV) dye from wastewater. The eggshell waste was pyrolyzed to produce biochar, which was thoroughly characterized and subsequently employed for contaminant adsorption.

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.

Magnetic Pinecone Biochar‐Activated Peroxymonosulfate for Efficient Sulfamethoxazole Degradation: Performance, Mechanism, and Toxicity Analysis

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study successfully prepared magnetic iron/cobalt codoped biochar catalyst (CFSBC) using a one‐step calcination method. The morphology and structure of the material were systematically characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, TEM, BET, Raman, VSM, and XPS techniques. The effects of key parameters such as catalyst dosage, peroxymonosulfate (PMS)
