Sugarcane biomass-derived biochar for soil quality enhancement in sugarcane-growing soil

Carbon Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 4(1)

Published: Jan. 18, 2025

Abstract This study explored the barrel technique for biochar production, comparing it with laboratory-prepared by evaluating effect on sugarcane-growing soil quality. Different sugarcane biomass (bagasse, trash, and mini mill waste) derived was prepared using a muffle furnace at three different temperatures (300, 450, 600 °C) technique. Biochar characterized yield, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), proximate ultimate analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) characterization. A pot experiment conducted amendments (bagasse pyrolyzed 450 °C–BBC-450 bagasse from technique–BBC-BT) 2.5% (w/w) rate. The initial, 45-day, 90-day samples were analyzed selected chemical physical parameters. quality index of determined. Sugarcane biomass-derived rich in carbon content (64.68%–85.43%). amendment led to significant enhancements EC, organic (OC), water holding capacity, total N, available P Zn, exchangeable K, Ca, Mg. results indicated an increase OC 1.22% due both relative controls. Available increased 2.59% BBC-BT amended 23.05% BBC-450 soil. EC increment 33.33% 16.67%, respectively, samples. highest observed BBC-BT. It can be concluded that enhances soil, could serve as viable option small-scale farmers domestic use producing biochar. Graphical

Assessment of Co-Pyrolysis of Polypropylene with Triacylglycerol-Based Waste Biomass to Obtain Sustainable Hydrocarbons

Sustainable Chemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6(2), P. 12 - 12

Published: April 8, 2025

Sustainable hydrocarbons are one of the main methods decreasing use fossil fuels and derivatives, contributing to mitigation environmental impacts greenhouse gas emissions. Circular economic concepts focus on reusing waste by converting it into new products, which then input again industrial production lines, thus necessity fossils. Polypropylene-based plastic can be depolymerized smaller chemical chains, producing a liquid phase rich in hydrocarbons. In same way, triacylglycerol-based biomasses also converted renewable Our research studied co-processing polypropylene (PP) cottonseed oil dreg (BASOs) from biodiesel industry using micropyrolysis system at 550 °C, previously validated predict scale-up process. PP showed alkanes alkenes, while BASOs produced carboxylic acids addition products. The were observed conversion yields, reaching highest values pyrolytic (64%), (14%), solid product (13%) compared mixture BASO:PP (1:2). Also, this mixture, decreased lowest value (~10%), improving sustainable

Towards carbon neutrality: A comprehensive study on the utilization and resource recovery of coal-based solid wastes

International Journal of Coal Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: April 19, 2025

Abstract Coal-based soild wastes (CBSWs) are industrial byproducts that can be harmful to the environment. The exploitation and utilization of CBSWs offer societal advantages such as resource conservation, pollution reduction, cost-effective production. However, environmentally sustainable management remains a worldwide challenge due substantial production volume limited disposal capacity CBSWs. physicochemical properties summarized, including fly ash, coal gangue gasification slag. It also presents current global applications status resources examines market supply demand. Subsequently, paper provides an overview studies on ways utilise CBSWs, highlighting primary avenues which mainly from fields chemical materials, metallurgy agriculture. Furthermore, comparative evaluation various methods for recovery is conducted, outlining their respective disadvantages. future development recycling processes discussed. review concludes while there growing need attention in recycling, its will involve combination both large-scale treatment refinement processes. aims references insights effective environmental protection Future direction focus collaborative emphasizing high-value utilization. In addition, establish comprehensive database based on-site practices, explore solutions reduce transportation costs, improve during process.
