Biochar, an environmentally friendly soil conditioner, is produced using several
thermochemical processes. It has unique characteristics like high surface area, porosity, and …

Rapid industrial development and human activities have caused a degradation of soil
quality and fertility. There is increasing interest in rehabilitating low fertility soils to improve …

Mankind is facing a phosphorus (P) crisis. P recycling from anthropogenic waste is critical to
close the P loop. Pyrolysis could be the ideal treatment for materials, such as sewage sludge …

The use of wood ash as an additive in biochar production was shown to increase biochar
yields and was suggested to improve the recycling of ash-derived nutrients. However, there …

In this study, nano-cerium oxide functionalized maize straw biochar (Ce-MSB) was prepared
and utilized to remove P from agricultural wastewater. Response Surface Model was applied …

Recycling of phosphorus (P) from waste streams in agriculture is essential to reduce the
negative environmental effects of surplus P and the unsustainable mining of geological P …

The effect of biochar additions on N leaching and retention in tea soils and its microbial
mechanism are still unclear. In this study, effects of biochar additions at rates of 0, 3% and …

Measures to improve the use of phosphorus (P), either by improved efficiency or reuse, are
needed worldwide in order to preserve a finite resource and ensure that farmers have …

Produced through pyrolysis, biochars are used as a soil amendment. Differences in
feedstock and processing result in differentiated products which impact their values in …

As a by-product generated from the pyrolysis of biomass, biochar is extraordinary for
improving the soil environment of agricultural fields, improving soil fertility, and promoting …
