Arenosols (sandy soils) in the Cerrado region of Mato Grosso, Brazil are increasingly used for maize production. These soils are typically nutrient poor with low soil water retention. Since biochar has been shown to improve both nutrient and water retention, this thesis aimed to evaluate biochar effect on physical and chemical properties of a Cerrado Arenosol using four biomass wastes (cotton ...

We have developed a rational strategy for creating the 3D pillared vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT)-graphene architectures by intercalated growth of VACNTs into thermally expanded highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). By controlling the fabrication process, the length of the VACNT pillars can be tuned. In conjunction with the electrodeposition of nickel hydroxide to introduce the ...

Biochar is an excellent absorbent for most heavy metal ions and organic pollutants with high specific surface area, strong aperture structure, high stability, higher cation exchange capacity and rich surface functional groups. To improve the selective adsorption capacity of biochar to designated heavy metal ions, biochar prepared by agricultural waste is modified via Ionic-Imprinted Technique.

Biochar produced from three feedstocks (Pine, Rice husk and Wheat straw) at four temperatures (350, 450, 550 and 650 °C) and two heating rates (5 and 100 °C min −1) was analysed using three methods of stability determination: proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and a new analytical tool developed at the UK Biochar Research Centre known as ...

Biochar fragments are found in many tropical soils as a result of natural burning and anthropogenic activities. Such fragments are common constituents of soil organic matter, which can act like sorbents of soluble organic compounds and are involved in the retention of water in soil systems.

Biochar is a reductant, but its electrical OPEN ACCESS. Agronomy 2015, 5 323 and electrochemical properties are a function of both the temperature of production and the concentration and composition of the various redox active mineral and organic phases present. When biochars are added to soils, they interact with plant roots and root hairs ...

Specific surface area of biochar (S A) decreased with the increase of food waste in the feedstock mixture ().The highest S A was observed in the WFW20 (i.e., 294.7 m 2 g −1) and the lowest S A was in the WFW40 (i.e., 98.9 m 2 g −1), which had lowest and highest percentages of food waste in the feedstock mixture, respectively.The reduction of wood waste in the feedstock might be a reason ...
