The replacement of inert gas by CO 2 in pyrolysis has piqued a great deal of interest in
recent years due to its numerous positive effects on end products. The reactive nature of CO …

Biochar, as a carbon-rich substance produced from the thermal decomposition of organic
biomass, is promising for sustainable environmental management. The production and …

Water contamination by ammonium (NH 4+) can present considerable risks to natural
ecosystems. This work evaluates the potential application of biochar, produced from the …

Biochar is carbon-rich product generated from biomass through pyrolysis. In this study, the
effects of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate on the yield and physicochemical and …

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that permits the conversion of biomasses into energy
(bio-oil and biogas) and a solid residue called biochar. The generation of biochar from …

Sludge based adsorbents are widely used for the removal of various pollutants from water
and wastewater systems and the available data is much diversified. The purpose of this …

Sludge, a byproduct produced from numerous industrial activities, has been recognized as
an ecological burden for the society. However, viewing the sludge, as a carbon-rich material …

Ever increasing volumes of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) are being produced by
municipal wastewater facilities. This is a consequence of the continued expansion of urban …

Studies have shown that pyrolysis method and temperature are the key factors influencing
biochar chemical and physical properties; however, information on the nature of biochar …

The high output of sewage sludge, which is increasing during recent years, and the
