A sustainable management of environment and agriculture is crucial to protect soil, water,
and air during intensified agriculture practices as well as huge industrial and transportation …

Thermochemical processing of biomass results in a producing char, a typical by-product.
The char can be termed as biochar when specifically applied as a soil fertility enhancement …

During the past decade, biochar has attracted immense scientific interest for agricultural and
environmental applications. A broad range of biochars with advantageous properties (eg …

In this study, a pristine biochar (BC) and MgCl 2-modified biochar (MBC) were prepared
using Pennisetum sp. straw for removing Cd 2+ from aqueous solutions. Scanning electron …

Excessive phosphate run-off with total phosphorus concentration greater than 20 μg PL− 1
triggers the growth of harmful algal species in waterbodies and potentially leads to …

A novel technique for phosphorus recovery from the liquid phase of anaerobic digestate was
developed using biochar derived from iron− rich sludge (dewatered sludge conditioned with …

Phosphate adsorption using metal-modified biochar has awakened much attention and
triggered extensive research. In this study, the effect of lanthanum (La)-modified sludge …

Char is a valuable product obtained from thermochemical conversion processes of different
biomass feedstocks, mainly pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). In this work …

Waste chicken feathers are the ideal precursor for the production of low-cost N-enriched
biochar. KOH-modified N-enriched biochar (KNB) containing 15.92 wt% N was successfully …

Highly efficient and cost-effective adsorbents for phosphate (P) recovery are the key to
control eutrophication and recover phosphorous from waste streams to enhance food …
