Purpose: Biochar modified with metal oxides has proved high capacities in removing heavy metals in wastewater. There is a limited number of studies exploring the potential of Fe-Mn binary oxides-biochar adsorbents for several heavy metals removal from contaminated water; however, the adsorption behavior and mechanism for Pb2+ ions adsorbed on Fe-Mn binary oxide/ Eichhornia crassipes […]
Purpose: Co-composting of mango by-products and biogas solid residue eliminates some shortcomings of composting these wastes separately. Specifically, co-composing solves the problem of the low pH values in mango by-products while enhances biodegradable organic matter of biogas solid residues. However, no research report is available on co-composting of mango by-products (MB) and biogas solid residue […]
Purpose This research aims to characterize the physical and chemical properties of biochar derived from biodegradable domestic solid waste and sugarcane bagasse, in order to evaluate their possible uses in agronomic and environmental applications. Method Biodegradable domestic solid waste and sugarcane bagasse-based biochar were pyrolyzed at two pyrolysis temperatures (500 and 700 °C). Biochar properties included the […]
