Applications of biochar for environmental safety / / Ahmed Abdelhafez, Mohamed Abbas, editors.
Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced from the pyrolysis of organic materials from agricultural and forestry biomass at a relatively low temperature in the absence of oxygen. As such, it has potential for solving many agricultural and environmental problems.This book is divided into five sectio...
