Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contamination has gained interest from regulatory authorities due to its high toxicity and carcinogenicity. Different approaches have been applied for the remediation of Cr(VI) from aquatic media, with... more
Adsorption is the most widely adopted, effective, and reliable treatment process for the removal of inorganic and organic contaminants fromwastewater.One of the major issueswith the adsorption-treatment process for the removal of... more
The conversion of food waste and sludge into biogas via anaerobic digestion technology is gaining attention in recent years, which plays a significant role in waste valorization into bioenergy and promotes environmental sustainability.... more
A lot of studies worldwide show that biochar is a powerful tool to address some of the most urgent environmental problems of our time: global warming, soil degradation, water pollution by agro-chemicals, and waste management. In the... more
This paper aims to examine the influence of biochar produced from lawn waste in accelerating the degradation and mineralization rates of food waste compost. Biochar produced at two different temperatures (350 and 450 °C) was applied at... more
Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) plant is a valuable medicinal crop in arid and semi-arid regions. The use of microbes as bio-fertilizers in enhancing crop production is more favorable than chemical fertilizers due to food safety. A pot... more
Sludge generated from the wastewater treatment plant of a pulp and paper factory was used as feedstock for the preparation of biochar using fast pyrolysis followed by chemical activation with NaOH to make activated biochar (ABC). A... more
Utilization of low-cost, abundant and biomaterials is highly recommended for sustainable environment protection. This study presents a comparative analysis on the preparation, characterization and cost analysis of the novel activated... more
Global climatic change leads to many detrimental effects on all life forms. Outstanding case, salinity, and drought are considered multidimensional stress that severely affect plant growth and sustainable agriculture. Thymus vulgaris is a... more
An outdoor pot study was conducted to understand what were the effects of different levels of biochar-0%; 4%; 8%; 12%-in variable soil mixes-100% soil; 75% soil and 25% sand; 50% soil and 50% sand-on the growth of potato plants. A two-way... more
Thermochemical conversion of agricultural wastes to bioenergy has a potential to play forefront roles within the context of the food, energy, and water nexus. The biochar solid product of pyrolysis is a promising tool to manage food crop... more
This slide presentation is prepared for other researchers that need to fabricate biochar-based supercapacitor. It is only suitable for research purposed.
Crop residue management becomes the challenging issue to farmers for balancing between the economic and sustainable environment. Though burning is the easiest way of destroying the crop waste it not only causes drastic changes in green... more
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the inoculation of Mesorhizobium ciceri on the nodulation, growth and antagonistic expression against soil-borne fungal pathogens (Phytophthora medicaginis, Fusarium oxysporum and... more
In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review application of biochar-based for carbon sink, covering... more

Biocomposites are increasingly used in the industry for the replacement of synthetic materials, thanks to their good mechanical properties, being lightweight, and having low cost. Unfortunately, in several potential fields of structural... more
Biochar is increasingly used as an amendment to improve agricultural soil functions and plant growth. However, the effect of biochar application on plant growth can be different due to high variability in the quality of biochar. In this... more
Because of rapid development in the livestock industry, the production of chicken manure has subsequently increased, which may contribute to environmental pollution. In this regard, in-vessel composting of biochar amended chicken manure... more

To date, no study has been reported on adsorption capacity (Q e) of palm kernel shell (PKS) biochar for plant nutrients NO 3-, NH 4 + , PO 4 3-and K + (NPK) while most biochar adsorption investigations have not considered the effect of... more
Slow pyrolyzed (500±50 °C) ten different waste derived biochar viz. animal bone, corn stover, wood chips, sewage sludge, sugarcane bagasse, green coconut palms, nutshells, potato peels, water hyacinth and organic waste were analyzed to... more
Aside from imposing progressively tighter limits to the emissions, the issue of climate change due to increasing atmospheric carbon concentrations can be tackled by very few really practicable and effective countermeasures. Among these,... more
