Abstract Background The residual effects of biochar are yet to receive adequate research attention in Sub-Saharan Africa despite the assumption that positive effect may last longer on degraded tropical soil. Hence a field experiment was conducted assess biochar, farmyard compost and NPK fertilizer applications Ferralsol central Uganda. used for study previously conduct experiments two seasons c...

Bioenergy from biomass wastes with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important way to compensate for hard-to-abate emissions collaborate decarbonizing the energy industry. This work evaluates a corncob-fired power generation CCS regarding overall efficiency in two process alternatives: (a) post-combustion CO 2 by aqueous blend of methyl-diethanolamine piperazine; (b) oxy-combustion coupled...

Influence of organic biphasic pretreatment on levoglucosan (LG) yield from biomass pyrolysis was investigated with dilute sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide as comparison, simultaneously, the mechanism explored in depth. It found that monophasic (water) conditions, pretreatment, LG all increase largely (from untreated 28% to treated 60–85%) due removal hemicellulose or lignin. Phenoxyethanol in...
