Fabrication, characterization and sorption properties of activated biochar from livestock manure via three different approaches
Abstract Biochar can be fabricated from waste biomass via thermochemical conversion. Here we investigated the production of activated biochar from cow manure via three different approaches, i.e., hydrochar-impregnation (HAC), impregnated biomass pyrolysis (PAC) and one-pot hydrothermal carbonization (HOC). The surface area of HAC, HOC and PAC increased from 81.00, 307.06 and 333.03 m2/g to 637.75, 791.20 and 841.91 m2/g, respectively, with […]

Cow manure-derived biochar: Its catalytic properties and influential factors
Abstract The conversion of waste biomass into biochar is considered as a waste disposal alternative, especially because biochar is a low-cost adsorbent for soil contaminants. However, a risk of desorption of contaminants from biochar may lead to secondary pollution. This study investigated the degradation behavior of soil fumigant, 1,3-dichloropropne (1,3-D), on cow manure-derived biochar (CMB) […]
