The production of increasing quantities of by-products is a key challenge for modern society;
their valorisation–turning them into valuable compounds with technological applications–is …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for all life forms, and P-availability thus an important
driver of a functioning agriculture. However, phosphate rock resources for P-fertilizer …

Biochars and ashes derived from thermal treatment of P-rich wastes could be used as bio-
based fertilizers to improve P recycling. However, thermal treatments often result in low plant …

Reducing the reliance on hazardous agrochemicals (ie, chemical fertilizers) that damage
agro-ecosystems represents great challenges in modern agriculture. Sulfur-enriched …

Mineralization of lead ions (Pb 2+) to pyromorphite using phosphorus-containing materials
is an effective way to remediate lead (Pb) contamination. Bone char is rich in phosphorus …

Land application of biomass materials and their products of thermal treatment (biochars and
ashes) can offset the unsustainable use of soluble P fertilisers. However, few evaluations of …

Although the addition of biochar has been shown to reduce the phosphorus (P) adsorption
capacity of soil, quantitative evidence of this has mainly been provided by incubation …

Selecting pyrolysis parameters for recycling P-rich and hazardous biowastes, such as
bones, into fertilizers is still a challenge. Our objective was to improve pyrolysis procedures …

The scarcity of phosphate ores and increasing water eutrophication are driving economically
attractive and environment-friendly approaches for phosphorus recovery. The biomass …

The applicability of bone char as a long-term phosphorus nutrient source was assessed by
integrating their mineral transformation and physicochemical properties with their dissolution …
