Adsorption of Zn(II) on Pristine and SPLP/TCLP Leached Rice Straw Biochar: an Interplay of Precipitation and Ion Exchange
(Institute for Ionics, 2022-11-15)The inorganic mineral content in biochar influences the adsorption of Zn(II) metal ions. Metal ion adsorption on mineral rich rice straw biochar is influenced upon washing. Rice straw slow pyrolysis biochar BC1-3, respectively, ... -
Co-transport and deposition of fluoride using rice husk-derived biochar in saturated porous media: Effect of solution chemistry and surface properties
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-02-10)Fluoride (F?) contamination in water is a global health concern, threatening the well-being of millions. This study investigated the role of ZnCl2/FeCl3-rice husk-modified biochar (Zn-BC and Zn/Fe-BC) in treating F?-contaminated ... -
Impact of rice-husk ash on the soil biophysical and agronomic parameters of wheat crop under a dry tropical ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2019)Several alternative amendments like organic manure and biochar have been proposed for revitalizing the degrading soil viability and fertility for sustainable agriculture, globally. However, detailed field-scale studies ... -
Lignocellulosic biomass-based pyrolysis: A comprehensive review
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-08-06)The efficacious application of lignocellulosic biomass for the new valuable chemicals generation curbs the excessive dependency on fossil fuels. Among the various techniques available, pyrolysis has garnered much attention ... -
Recent advances in biochar amendments for immobilization of heavy metals in an agricultural ecosystem: A systematic review
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-01-03)Over the last several decades, extensive and inefficient use of contemporary technologies has resulted in substantial environmental pollution, predominantly caused by potentially hazardous elements (PTEs), like heavy metals ... -
Reduced and oxidized rice straw biochar for hexavalent chromium adsorption: Revisiting the mechanism of adsorption
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-11-01)Surface oxygen functional groups of biochar were tuned by oxidation and reduction of biochar for establishing Cr(VI) adsorption mechanism. Oxygen functional groups (OFGs) on the surface of leached rice straw biochar (LBC4-6) ... -
Studies on the Use of Fly Ash and Crop Residue Biochar in Soil Amelioration and Nutrient Uptake in Wheat
(Central University of Punjab, 2018)Catalytic pyrolysis of rice straw using fly ash as catalyst was studied in various gravimetric proportions of 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1 (fly ash : rice straw, w/w). The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA ) of the thermal degradation ...
