activated biochar

Conversion of solid marine waste into innovative nanomaterials has been successfully developed for removing organic pollutants from aqueous solutions. In this study, activated biochar (HTST) was successfully synthesized using a straightforward three-step method involving pretreatment, carbonization, and chemical regulation. Multiple characterization techniques revealed the presence of abundant three-dimensional hierarchical porous structures in the samples, along […]

Chemically activated biochar with richer pore structure and higher specific surface area is well suited for loading phase change materials (PCMs). However, the effect of structural characteristics and abundant surface functional groups of chemically activated biochar on the thermal properties of PCMs has not been systematically investigated. Here, shape-stable samples were prepared by introducing biochar […]

The present analysis aims to use existing resources to lower the cost of electrodes and reduce environmental pollution by utilizing waste materials like green algae. In the present research, the hydrothermal carbonization technique was utilized to synthesize a nano sized CuO mixed with activated biochar (CuO@BC) extracted from red sea algae (Chlorophyta). The CuO@BC sample […]

India has an agro-based economy and generates substantial amounts of agricultural residues (500-690 tonnes annually) from different crops. The country produces 20 per cent of the world’s rice, making it the second-largest producer after China. Thus, 20-22 per cent of rice husks are a byproduct of rice milling. Agricultural crop residue management is a significant […]

Innovators across New Zealand are working on solutions for the huge amount of silt and woody debris that is clogging beaches and riverbanks on the East Coast. Research into how silt can add nutrients back into the land is underway, and a project to turn slash into cash has being trialled with a community north […]
