Biochar: Harnessing Nature’s Charcoal for Sustainability
Abstract: As we all know, CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps the largest amount of heat from the air, thus causing our planet Earth to get warmer and warmer. Humans raised CO2 levels over the last two centuries years, leading to climate change. India, ranked fourth globally in emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs), sees a significant portion of emissions from the agriculture sector. Burning crop stubble in states like Punjab and …

Thermal and Morphological Characterization of Rice Starch–Charcoal Composites for Eco-Friendly Engineering Applications
Abstract: This work focuses on the development and evaluation of rice starch–charcoal–based composite materials to overcome the limitations of natural composites with low thermal properties. In order to examine the impact of filler concentration on thermal and structural performance, eight composite specimens were created by altering the ratios of rice starch and charcoal. TGA, DTA, AFM, SEM, and measurements of thermal conductivity and effusivity were used to thoroughly characterize the composites. …

Characterization Of Bagasse Ash for Polymer Composite Applications: Reinforcement and Biocompatibility
Abstract: In present investigation, comparison of the survival rate of Bacillus megaterium inoculated in bagasse ash and charcoal is done which is widely used as a carrier material. An Isolate SB1 was isolated from the soil. This isolated SB1 was subjected for a study of cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. By comparing all the studied characteristics and with reference to Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology, Vol. II, an isolate SB1 was …

Comparative Evaluation of Dodders, Giloy, Onion Peels and Fruit Waste-Prepared Composite Biochar Polymeric Adsorbent (CBPA) For Use in Wastewater Treatment
Abstract: Due to pollutants that have a negative impact on water bodies, wastewater treatment has attracted a lot of attention throughout the years. In many developing countries domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants are lacking or not working efficiently for detergents due to the refractory nature of such chemicals. Generally the industrial wastewater is directly discharged into the existing water bodies (drains, nallahs etc.) after primary settling tanks. These refractory contaminants …
