crisis. The conversion of renewable resources, especially from biomass could be a …

Large amounts of organic wastes, which pose a severe threat to the environment, can be
thermally pyrolyzed to produce biochar. Biochar has many potential uses owing to its unique …

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient for plants and an essential element for all life on Earth.
As the resources of phosphate rock are depleting, new management tools for …

With increasing energy and resource consumption due to population growth, the biorefinery
concept is becoming popular. This concept aims to harness all the properties of biomass by …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) and pyrolysis are two promising technologies used worldwide for
waste biomass treatment. Interests on intensification techniques of AD has been increasing …

Biochar-based fertilizers have attracted increased attention, because biochar can improve
the soil fertility, promote plant growth and crop yield. However, biochar-based controlled …

Biochar-based controlled release nitrogen fertilizers (BCRNFs) have received increasing
attention due to their ability to improve nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and increase crop …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all organisms, thus playing unique and critical
roles at the food–energy–water nexus. Most P utilized by human activities eventually …

This study investigates the influence of pH on extraction of nitrogen and phosphorus from
swine manure following hydrothermal treatment. Conditions include thermal hydrolysis (TH) …

Little is known about the interactive effects between biochar application and phosphorus (P)
fertilization on plant growth and P uptake. For this purpose, five wheat straw biochars …
