Biochar has emerged as a new class of biomass-derived functional materials that can be
obtained using a plethora of thermochemical conversion techniques. Biochar-based …

The pyrolysis of sewage sludge to produce biochar is a promising method for sewage
sludge end-treatment. Key parameters influencing biochar properties include pyrolysis …

The tremendous increase of industrialization and urbanization worldwide causes the
depletion of natural resources such as water and air which urges the necessity to follow the …

A novel adsorbent derived from grapefruit peel (GP) based biochar (GPBC) was synthesized
by combined carbonization of GP and subsequent activation by GP extracts. Compared to …

Metal oxides, such as copper (II) oxide (CuO) and iron (III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3), are dominant
active components in fly ash during iron ore sintering. The potential synergetic effects of …

In this study, heterogeneous Fenton-like degradation of ofloxacin (OFX) was investigated by
sludge derived carbon (SC). The effects of SC catalyst, temperature and pH on the efficiency …

Sewage sludge (SS) is a by-product of sewage treatment plant and a typical solid waste,
which has dual properties of pollution and recycling. Using SS as raw material to prepare …

The evolution of oxygen-functioning groups in sewage sludge based carbon is influenced by
minerals presented in the raw sludge. In this study, the FeCl 3 and polyacrylamide …

Radical induced sewage sludge pretreatment has been developed to enhance sludge
stabilization and dewaterability. Except for anaerobic digestion, the reutilization of the …

Sewage sludge, the major by-product of wastewater treatment plants, is defined as a
pollutant by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The increasing production of sewage …
