Biochar for agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, water treatment, soil remediation, construction, energy storage, and carbon sequestration: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 20(4), P. 2385 - 2485

Published: May 7, 2022

Abstract In the context of climate change and circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile recycled material. Here, we review application biochar-based for carbon sink, covering agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, environmental remediation, construction, energy storage. The ultimate storage reservoirs are soils, civil infrastructure, landfills. Biochar-based fertilisers, which combine traditional fertilisers with nutrient carrier, promising agronomy. use feed additive animals shows benefits terms growth, gut microbiota, reduced enteric methane production, egg yield, endo-toxicant mitigation. Biochar enhances digestion operations, primarily biogas generation upgrading, performance sustainability, mitigation inhibitory impurities. composts, controls release greenhouse gases microbial activity. Co-composted improves soil properties crop productivity. Pristine engineered can also be employed water remediation to remove pollutants. added cement or asphalt, thus conferring structural functional advantages. Incorporating biocomposites insulation, electromagnetic radiation protection moisture control. Finally, synthesising materials requires additional functionalisation.

Management of poultry manure in Poland – Current state and future perspectives

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 264, P. 110327 - 110327

Published: March 26, 2020

This review aimed to analyse the current state of management practices for poultry manure in Poland and present future perspectives terms technologies allowing closing loops circular economy, thus recovery nutrients energy. The scope focused primarily on: (1) analysis production generation with special references quantities, properties (e.g. fertilizing properties), seasonality, etc.; (2) overview methods managing including advantages limitations; (3) potential realistic threats risk related manure, also (4) promising converting into added value products addressed following technologies: composting obtain fertilizers soil improvers, anaerobic digestion energy recovery, pyrolysis different types biochar that can be applied agriculture, horticulture industry. Poultry is rich macro- micronutrients but contain various contaminants such as antibiotics or pesticides, posing a threat living organisms when directly after biological treatment. main challenge processing assure sufficient carbon, nitrogen phosphorous safe application soil.
