In this goal, a greenhouse experiment was performed, using garden soil at 50% (v/v) and/or biochar at 2 or 5% (w/w). The results showed that biochar did not improve soil physico-chemical properties, neither did it affect plant parameters (dry weight, organ metal(loid)s concentrations)...
Green financial management can significantly impact agricultural improvement, but various obstacles can impede this process. One major obstacle is the lack of access to appropriate financial resources28,29,30,31. Many farmers face financial constraints that prevent them from investing in green and sustai...
Phyto-Fenton remediation of a dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane contaminated site in Ha Tinh Province, Vietnam Article Open access 30 September 2022 Enhancing soil health, microbial count, and hydrophilic methomyl and hydrophobic lambda-cyhalothrin remediation with biochar and nano-biochar Article Open...
Glyphosate use is complex and contentious. To adequately frame the issue, we first present glyphosate as an herbicide, how it became so ubiquitous, and the status of its regulation in Europe and the United States. Second, we describe the issue of glyphosate residue as a contaminant in fertilize...
Finally, through the biointensive method and the addition of organic materials such as biochar and regular topsoil, soil properties like structure, porosity, and friability were improved. This, in turn, enabled better root development and the successful establishment of various cultivars in the garden...
Biochar can form part of a solution as it is a well-known adsorbent. This material can be efficient in the adsorption of a wide range of pollutants and is inexpensive. An innovative heat pipe reactor was used to produce biochar from excess food and garden materials. This biochar was ...
The biodiesel derived from the coffee grounds (100% conversion of oil to biodiesel) was found to be stable for more than one month under ambient conditions due to inherent antioxidants. Coffee grounds after oil extraction are ideal materials for garden fertilizer, feedstock for ethanol, biochar, ...
Provided is a method for performing anaerobic digestion by utilizing a heavy metal ion enriched biomass waste material, comprising: putting a biochar made from the raw materials such as garden rubbish and agricultural and forestry waste, or a plant for adsorbing heavy metal ions in waste water ...
Cao and co-workers evaluated the ability of dairy-manure derived biochar to sorb lead and atrazine. In addition, ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) one kind of carbon-based materials, with large surface area and pore volume, unique pore size, and excellent physicochemical and thermal stability are...
In recent decades, the increasing number of degraded lands worldwide makes their rehabilitation essential and crucial. Various techniques have emerged to fulfill these needs but most of them are expensive and difficult to be applied. Revegetation is a cost effective, environmental friendly, and aesthet...
