Landfilling is a common practice used to dispose municipal solid waste due to economic considerations in developing countries as Sri Lanka. Among the different ways of landfilling, open pit dumping can be identified as the ...

Groundwater is one of the most important natural resources in the northern coastal belt of Sri Lanka, as there are no major water supply schemes or perennial rivers. Overexploitation, seawater intrusion and persistent ...

Biochar is chemically more reduced and reactive than the original feedstock biomass. Graphite regions, functional groups, and redox-active metals in biochar contribute to its redox characteristics. While the functional ...

Biochar (BC) exhibits a great potential as an adsorbent in decontamination of water. To improve the adsorption capabilities and impart the particular functionalities of BC, various methods (chemical modification, ...

Biochar has recently become an interesting option for soil management in terms of nutrients depleted lands, which is now emerging as an increasing global concern. Since biochar is derived from biomass, they are high in ...

The present study aimed to envisage the effect of physicochemical properties on the performance of Gliricidia sepium biochar (GBC) pyrolyzed at 300, 500, and 700 �C in the removal caffeine (CFN); a pharmaceutical and personal ...

The focus of this research was to synthesize novel clay-biochar composites by incorporating montmorillonite (MMT) and red earth (RE) clay materials in a municipal solid waste (MSW) biochar for the adsorptive removal ...
