From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThis study examined the influence of pyrolysis temperature on biochar characteristics and evaluated its suitability for carbon capture and energy production. Biochar was produced from corn stover using slow pyrolysis at...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 12, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBiochar production and use are part of the modern agenda to recycle wastes, and to retain nutrients, pollutants, and heavy metals in the soil and to offset some greenhouse gas emissions. Biochars from wood (eucalyptus...

From:Biotechnology for Biofuels (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass generates different types of inhibitors (e.g., furfural and acetic acid), which could remarkably inhibit subsequent ethanol fermentation. Here, biochar as an...

From:Soil Research (Vol. 55, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedDespite strong evidence for the importance of charcoal as a long-term carbon sink in soils, simple methods to quantify charcoal in soil are still lacking. In this study, we tested the application of attenuated total...
-
From:International Forestry Review (Vol. 24, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAccurate data on the production and sources of woodfuels is necessary to ensure sustainability. National level data is scanty in most sub-Saharan African countries. This research aimed to provide accurate data on...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Forest Research (Vol. 45, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedFire is a major disturbance worldwide, and it produces significant amounts of wood-derived charcoal. There is increasing evidence that the key properties ("traits") of charcoal vary greatly, with consequences for...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 16, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe objective of this study is to verify the feasibility of using biochar made from crop straw as a bitumen additive to improve some properties of bitumen. The differences between crop straw biochar prepared in a...
-
From:Pharmaceutical Technology Europe (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA disposable nuisance-vapour mask, Carbosorb Plus, is offered by CCI. Designed for up to 8 hours protection against nuisance vapours and odours, as well as dusts down to 0.3 [micro]m, the mask has an adjustable...
