Application of bamboo charcoal as solid-phase extraction adsorbent for the determination of atrazine and simazine in environmental water samples by high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector

Effects of dietary bamboo charcoal powder including vinegar liquid on chicken performance and histological alterations of intestine

“…Bamboo charcoal was reported to have a higher adsorption capacity than wood charcoal, because of the special micro-pore structure of bamboo stems (ChungPin et al, 2004). Bamboo charcoal is known to have about 4 times more cavities, 3 times more mineral content and 4 times better absorption rate (Zhao et al, 2008). Goats fed a diet containing 0.5 g of bamboo charcoal per kg of body weight grew faster than the controls (Van et al, 2006).…”

“…A possible alternative to antibiotics for growth promotion and feed efficiency improvement in domestic avian species is to use natural substances stimulating the intestinal function. Bamboo charcoal is known as a universal adsorbent, because it contains a complex network of pores of various shapes and sizes (Zhao et al, 2008). Its powder has been used as an oral antidote to reduce the absorption of poison from the gastrointestinal tract (Anjaneyulu et al, 1993).…”

Molecularly imprinted polymers by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer precipitation polymerization for preconcentration of atrazine in food matrices

“…The most frequently used methods for the determination of atrazine are high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [3,4] and gas chromatography (GC) [5,6], which always involves in traditional sample pretreatment procedures, such as solid phase extraction (SPE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME). The main including reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, metal-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), nitroxide-mediate polymerization (NMP) and iniferter, due to their intrinsic advantages over conventional free radical polymerization, such as producing well-defined polymers with predictable molecular, low polydispersity, controlled composition and functionality [17].…”

Effects of Bamboo Charcoal Added Feed on Reduction of Ammonia and Growth of Pangasius hypophthalmus

“…are not cited in the scientific literature, but are used locally. Like wood charcoal bamboo charcoal (BC) is also an activated charcoal made by dry distillation of a thick-stemmed bamboo and powder of which is known as a universal adsorbent, because it can bind with variety molecules since it contains a complex network of pores of various shapes and sizes [6]. Now-a-days, BC has been used in animal feed formulation as an additive because they absorb ammonia and nitrogen, and activates the intestinal function through eliminating the poisons and impurities from the gastrointestinal tract of land animals [7,8].…”

“…Utilization of charcoal from wood or bamboo may provide an economical way to eliminate noxious substances because of their cheaper cost [9]. Moreover, BC is considered to have a higher adsorption capacity than wood charcoal because it has about 4 ti mes more cavities, 3 times more mineral content and 4 times better absorption rate [6]. Reports have clarified the ammonia adsorption effect of BC in aqueous solution [10], and dietary addition of BC effects on digestion, nitrogen retention and excretion of growing goats [8].…”
