rice husk biochar

Biochars are cost effective, carbonaceous amendments that can immobilize potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils. Application of silicon (Si) has been shown to mitigate the effect of soil PTEs on plants. Studies on the interaction effects of Si and biochars in PTE-contaminated soils are limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the […]

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 […]

Abstract More technologies are urgently needed for combined use to effectively eliminate the effect of oil spills, an environmental problem of widespread concern. Among these technologies, sorption methods are available to remove residual oil and prevent the further spread on the water surface. In this study, biochars, prepared from different feedstock materials and pyrolysis temperatures, were […]
