Biochar produced by thermal decomposition of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions
has received increasing attention as a cost-effective sorbent to treat metal-contaminated …

Sludge or waste activated sludge (WAS) generated from wastewater treatment plants may
be considered a nuisance. It is a key source for secondary environmental contamination on …

Sewage sludge pyrolysis into biochar is an effective way to realize sludge harmless and
resourceful utilization. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between pyrolysis …

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 …

In this paper, two different biomasses (soybean straw and Chlorella) were pyrolyzed at
temperatures 300–800° C to obtain biochars. The impacts of biomass type and pyrolysis …

With the substantial increase in sludge production, the disposal of sludge and the reduction
of secondary pollution by heavy metals have become one of the hottest topics in the field of …

In this work, magnetic wakame biochar nanocomposites for the first time had been
synthesized to investigate their adsorption to methylene blue dye. As-prepared magnetic …

Biochar refers to the high-carbon, black fine-grained product of biomass pyrolysis.
Independent studies repeatedly confirmed that its incorporation into arable land is a reliable …

This study aims to investigate the thermo-kinetics of high-ash sewage sludge using
thermogravimetric analysis. Sewage sludge was dried, pulverized and heated non …

Biochar can significantly alter water relations in soil and therefore, can play an important part
in increasing the resilience of agricultural systems to drought conditions. To enable …
