This study investigated the straw harvested after nitrogen (N) fertilizer application levels (0, 75, 150 and 225 kg N hm). The N fertilizer increased straw yield by 115.4-190.6%. In addition to N fertility, the pyrolysis temperatures (300, 500 and 700 °C) induced significant changes of the straw-derived biochar samples. The yield reduced from 41.4 wt% to 23.2 wt%, the residence time increased from 272 yr to 2194 yr, and the residual coefficient of organic C (F) increased from 0.65 to 0.93 for the biochar samples as the temperature rising. The parameters of C sequestration were mainly affected by pyrolysis temperature. The N + PO+KO content (5.6-8.8%) of the biochar samples was more in the 500 °C treatment. The characteristics of nutrient supply were affected by both the N fertility and pyrolysis temperature. The N fertilizer rate of 150 kg N hm in the soil for wheat straw, together with the 500 °C treatment induces the best nutrient donor and C sequestration after biochar incorporation into the soil.

The use of recycled manure solids (RMS) as cow bedding in dairy farms poses concerns due to its potential to harbor pathogenic and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study evaluated the impact of RMS supplementation with biochar at three concentrations (2.5%, 5%, and 10%) on bacterial counts and on the antimicrobial resistance and virulence profiles of and isolates.

Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a widely used synthetic phenolic antioxidant found in edible oils and other fried foods. Nevertheless, the excess use of TBHQ can reduce food quality and impact public health. In this paper, we reported the synthesis of a nanocomposite consisting of carbon and nitrogen co-doped nickel oxide (NiO-N/C-700), which was used to modify a pencil graphite electrode for the sensitive detection of TBHQ.

In the current work, three adsorbent materials were developed: biochar derived from date palm fiber (C), date palm fiber biochar/chitosan nanoparticles (CCS), and biochar/chitosan nanoparticle composite supplemented with glutamine (CCSG). These compounds were used as solid adsorbents to remove As from polluted water. Several characterization approaches were used to investigate all the synthesized solid adsorbents, including thermogravimetric analysis, N adsorption/desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), attenuated total reflectance with Fourier transform infrared, and zeta potential.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as toluene, are hazardous air pollutants that pose significant health and environmental risks. This study addresses remediation of toluene by developing a bifunctional nitrogen-doped biochar (NDB) activated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), aimed at reducing toluene emissions through both adsorption and catalytic oxidation. A series of NDB samples were prepared via NaOH activation and pyrolysis at varying temperatures to optimize their adsorption capacity and catalytic performance.

Heavy metals and metalloids are the most common environmental pollutants. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is a standard operating procedure that is used to assess heavy metal and metalloid compositions, and evaluate the hazardous nature of waste and waste-derived materials for reuse or disposal, such as determining landfill suitability. However, TCLP and the following detections are time-consuming and require bulky laboratory-based instruments and trained personnel.
