Biochar is pyrogenic carbon rich material generated from carbon neutral sources (ie,
biomass). Being an environmentally benign means for soil amendment, it also offers …

Biochar is mainly used as a soil amendment and for carbon sequestration; while other
applications such as environmental remediation may be equally important. Recently …

The rising demand for sustainable energy and the availability of abundant wastes have
stimulated research efforts around the world. As a newly emerging energy-based …

Biochar, a pyrogenic black carbon is derived by pyrolysis of carbon-rich biomass in an
oxygen-limited environment. The physico-chemical characteristics of biochar strongly impact …

Abstract The International Biochar Initiative classifies biochar as “a solid material derived
from the carbonization of biomass.” Biochar is a solid substance produced during the …

Agricultural wastes from cropping activities are always available with high production yield
after containing organic-rich materials that can replace the commercial carbon-made …

Application of microbial fuel cell (MFC) is coming to the forefront as a dual-purpose system
for wastewater treatment and energy recovery. Future research should emphasize on …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gained remarkable attention as a novel wastewater
treatment that simultaneously generates electricity. The low activity of the oxygen reduction …
