Biochar

In Brazil’s Central Amazonian Basin scientists have studied how these farmers, for thousands of years, have created rich soil to support microbial life and improve their crop yields. Their secret is a principle called Terra Preta. Today companies use technology to create a modern version of terra preta. It’s called Biochar.

أهمية “البيوتشار” في تعزيز التربة والزراعة المستدامة نحن جميعًا نتشارك الهواء والماء ذاتهما، ونعيش بفضل طبقة رقيقة من التربة العلوية وقليل من الحياة الميكروبية تحت أقدامنا. هذه الحياة الميكروبية تلعب دورًا حيويًا في تطور النباتات والغذاء الذي نتناوله. في حوض الأمازون الأوسط بالبرازيل، قام العلماء بدراسة كيفية قيام المزارعين على مدار آلاف السنين بإنشاء تربة […]

Abstract The main aim of this study is to determine the physical and chemical properties of biochar synthesized from different materials (straw rice, sawdust, sugar cane, and tree leaves) at different pyrolysis temperatures (400, 600, and 800 °C). The physical and chemical properties such as moisture content, water holding capacity, bulk density, and porosity; and pH, […]

The presence of diverse organic compounds, such as dyes, in wastewater may pose potential environmental hazards. Therefore, it is imperative to remove these harmful substances from the various water resources. In this work, the composite of Ceria (CeO2) and areca nut shell biochar (CB) were used as adsorbents to extract Methylene blue dye (MB) from […]

One of the primary sources of water pollution is the wastewater released from textile industry. In the current research, green magnetized ferrite biochar nanocomposites for the purification of basic dye Blue-XGRRL were prepared and characterized. The optimal pH values to attain maximum adsorption for orange peels/MnFe2O4, peanut shells/CuFe2O4, tree twigs/Ni Fe2O4, and wood/CoFe2O4 were noticed […]

Hazardous waste stream needs to be managed so as not to exceed stock- and rate-limited properties of its recipient ecosystems. The co-pyrolysis of Chinese medicine residue (CMR) and textile dyeing sludge (TDS) and its bio-oil, biochar, and ash quality and quantity were characterized as a function of the immersion of K 2 CO 3 , […]

The vertical sequestration of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by iron minerals along the soil profile is assumed to be central to the long-term storage of the soil organic matter (SOM) pool. However, there is limited information available about how the interaction between DOM and natural iron-bearing minerals shape mineral SOM as-sociations quantitatively and qualitatively in […]

Current research of counter-electrodes (CEs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) focuses mainly on searching for low-cost and mass-production suitable materials as an alternative to standardly used platinum. One of the most studied groups is carbon allotropes, while carbon-enriched materials such as biochar prepared from renewable sources (biomass) show tremendous potential. Structural properties of biochar, electrical […]

In an eco-friendly context, an adsorption study was performed in a fixed-bed column system to remove organic pollutants from dyeing wastewater, testing preliminary theoretical models and reactive blue 5G (RB5G) dye as a reference pollutant and tilapia bone-based biochar as an alternative adsorbent. Adsorption approaches in removing RB5G dye molecules from synthetic solutions were performed […]
