biochar properties

Biochar, unwashed and washed with a solution of Triton and hydrogen peroxide, was wet drum granulated using molasses binder solutions. Unwashed biochar was very hydrophobic and granulation proceeded through forming liquid marbles and layering. Washing reduced the hydrophobicity of the biochar. The effectiveness of the wash depended on the biochar source; it significantly reduced the […]

Environmental pollution is a global phenomenon and troublesome fact that poses a grave risk to all living entities. Via coupling carbonaceous feedstocks with outstanding microbial activity, kinetic experiments were established using the consortium of Proteus mirabilis and Raoultella planticola, biochar-derived sunflower seed husk (SHB) and rice straw (RSB), and their composites, which investigated at 30 […]

College of Agriculture researchers develop strategies to enhance farmer resilience. CONTRIBUTED BY AUBURN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE / BY PAUL HOLLIS AUBURN — The Auburn University College of Agriculture and the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station were awarded approximately $6 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) for a four-year project entitled “Developing effective adaptation […]

In a world grappling with escalating emissions and the dire need for sustainable waste management solutions, a new trend is emerging – the conversion of waste biomass into biochar. This innovative approach not only tackles the challenge of waste disposal but also holds the potential to significantly reduce emissions while offering a range of environmental […]

Abstract Biochar has trigged increasing attention in the last decade due to its multiple functionalities, in which, color is not only the visual appearance, but also a useful indicator of relevant properties as well as an important tool to predict biochar’s properties. However, biochar color characterization remains challenged currently. In this work, three different feedstock-derived […]

Abstract Biochar is the carbon-rich product obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. Preparation methods contribute to biochar properties, which are widely concerned in the agronomic and environmental benefits of agro-ecosystems. This research aims to use bibliometrics methods to comprehensively and objectively analyze the research trends in the global biochar production field […]

Abstract The sorption capacity and affinity of biochar for metals are both important attributes that determine biochar’s suitability as a soil amendment for contaminant mitigation, yet few analyses have considered both characteristics simultaneously. We present a systematic review of literature published between 2010 and 2018 to test the hypothesis that sorption capacity and affinity are […]
