Soil plays an important role in the sustainability of ecosystems. In recent years, the increasing growth in the degradation of soil resources has drawn attention to management strategies for maintaining the soil quality. Researchers have recently studied the impact of using biochar on physical and chemical properties of soil. It has been found that adding biochar improves the soil quality. Some factors such as pyrolysis chamber conditions, pyrolysis peak temperature and air flow rate affect the physical and chemical properties of biochar including the density, pH, ash content, and so on. In this study, the effect of changes in the air flow rate and chamber temperature in the fixed-bed oxidative pyrolysis on the biochar yield, ash content, density and pH... |
