CLOSING THE LOOP ON LIGNOCELLULOSIC - BASED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: PRODUCTION OF BIOCHAR FOR AGRICULTURAL LAND AND CONTAMINANT ADSORPTION APPLICATIONS AND FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

Biochars derived from sewage sludge digestate and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste digestate were separately modified with 2 M KOH or 10% H 2 O 2 followed by

Different agricultural residues (millet stalks, peanut shells, cashew shells, etc.) from the Casamance region have subjected to a heat treatment in a cylindrical

Even though Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is the most widely used method in agriculture, forestry, soil science, hydrology etc., to measure VSMC of mineral soils, based

There are currently limited studies on the effect of locally available bulking agents (i.e., peat and sawdust) on the maturity and stability indices such as

Thermodynamic parameters for adsorption reaction were obtained using the results of batch adsorption experiments carried out at different temperatures for the

There was also a heavy metal uptake experiment done, comparing the heavy metal uptake of vegetables grown in raw sewage sludge compared to sewage sludge that was pyrolyzed into

Using a simple top-lit updraft gasifier, a special chimney for rice husk carbonization, it was relatively simple for farmers to produce biochar in the field, with an efficiency

Nev- ertheless, specific conservation practices—agroforestry sys- tems and application of biochar in soil—can boost sequestration of organic C and, in addition, increase
