Biochar production from Cypress sawdust and olive mill wastewater: Agronomic approach.

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is nowadays considered as a serious source pollution. At the same time, it contains high amounts of nutrients, especially potassium and phosphorus that could be recovered for agricultural purposes. The aim of the current experimental research work is to investigate the agronomic potential use of OMW based biochar produced from the slow pyrolysis at 500 °C of raw cypress sawdust (CS) impregnated with OMW (ICS-OMW-B).
