Pyrolysis temperature-induced changes in the catalytic characteristics of rice husk-derived biochar during 1,3-dichloropropene degradation

Environmental transformation of natural and engineered carbon nanoparticles and implications for the fate of organic contaminants

“…156 CNP aggregation and pore blockage can decrease the release of free radicals and their products, similar to the reduced release of organic contaminants discussed in section 5.2. ROS deriving from pCNPs are capable of inducing the transformation of a range of organic contaminants including sulfadimidine, 157 1,3-dichloropropene, 158,159 p-nitrophenol, 160 trifluralin, 161 pendimethalin, 161 diethyl phthalate, 162 nitrobenzene, 163 and 2-chlorobiphenyl. 164 Some compounds can react directly with carbonaceous materials, as has been ob-served for chloropicrin 165 and p-nitrophenol.…”

A review of the rheological properties of dilute and concentrated food emulsions

“…In the case of flocculated emulsions, shear thinning may also occur because the flocs become progressively deformed and disrupted in the shear flow field (Berli, Quemada, & Parker, ), which is discussed later. Recent studies have shown that the apparent viscosity, storage modulus, and shear thinning behavior of emulsions increases as the droplet size decreases (Qin, Chen, Sun, Sun, & Shen, ). The size of the droplets can also indirectly influence emulsion viscosity by altering the aggregation state of the droplets.…”

Properties of Biochar from Anaerobically Digested Food Waste and Its Potential Use in Phosphorus Recovery and Soil Amendment

“…However, the yield and physicochemical characteristics of biochar can vary widely, depending on pyrolysis conditions, which are some of the most influential factors. Qin et al [15] reported the characteristics of biochar derived from rice husks in a wide pyrolysis temperature range. The findings illustrated a U-shaped relationship between the biochar pyrolysis temperature and efficiency.…”
