Autor: Adriana Downie, Dinesh B. Madhavan, Anthony J. Weatherley, Deli Chen, Bhawana Bhatta Kaudal

Publikováno v: Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis. 112:105-112

Biochar produced from mixture of biodegradable urban resources such as biosolids and greenwaste was slowly pyrolysed at 650 °C and characterised for its chemical and physical properties. The biochar was then compared to published values for growing

Approaches to greenhouse gas accounting methods for biomass carbon

Autor: Paul Munroe, Adriana Downie, David M. S. Lau, Annette Cowie

Publikováno v: Biomass and Bioenergy. 60:18-31

This investigation examines different approaches for the GHG flux accounting of activities within a tight boundary of biomass C cycling, with scope limited to exclude all other aspects of the lifecycle. Alternative approaches are examined that a) acc

Pyrolysing poultry litter reduces N2O and CO2 fluxes

Autor: Peter Grace, Bhupinder Pal Singh, Stephen Morris, Adriana Downie, Annette Cowie, Stephen Kimber, J. Rust, L. Van Zwieten, Clemens Scheer

Publikováno v: Science of The Total Environment. 465:279-287

Application of poultry litter (PL) to soil can lead to substantial nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions due to the co-application of labile carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). Slow pyrolysis of PL to produce biochar may mitigate N2O emissions from this source, whi

Contrasting effects of manure and green waste biochars on the properties of an acidic ferralsol and productivity of a subtropical pasture

Autor: Stephen Morris, L. Van Zwieten, Adriana Downie, Stephen Kimber, Peter G Slavich, K. Sinclair

Publikováno v: Plant and Soil. 366:213-227

Background and Aim We hypothesised that amending an acidic ferralsol with biochar would improve the productivity of a subtropical dairy pasture via reducing soil acidity related constraints and result in improved nitrogen use efficiency. We examined

Utilization of Biochar in Sugarcane and Sugar-Industry Management

Autor: Stephen Kimber, L. Van Zwieten, J. Rust, Stephen Morris, R. G. Quirk, Adriana Downie

Publikováno v: Sugar Tech. 14:321-326

The sugarcane industry in many parts of the world produces food and energy (stationary and fuel). The industry is well positioned to offer greenhouse gas abatement and climate change mitigation. The thermal conversion, via a slow pyrolysis process, o

Biochar as a Geoengineering Climate Solution: Hazard Identification and Risk Management

Autor: Annette Cowie, Paul Munroe, Adriana Downie, David M. S. Lau, Lukas Van Zwieten

Publikováno v: Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology. 42:225-250

Biochar technology has been proposed as a geoengineering solution that has potential to actively reduce the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and enhance the sustainability of agriculture. The magnitude of the technologies’ net benefit

Terra Preta Australis: Reassessing the carbon storage capacity of temperate soils

Autor: Stephen Morris, Paul Munroe, Adriana Downie, Lukas Van Zwieten, Ronald J. Smernik

Publikováno v: Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. 140:137-147

Soils developed on the sites of Australian Aboriginal oven mounds along the Murray River in SE Australia, classified as Cumulic Anthroposols under the Australian Soil Classification, are shown to have traits similar to the Terra Preta de Indio of the

Publikováno v: Plant and Soil. 327:235-246

The amendment of two agricultural soils with two biochars derived from the slow pyrolysis of papermill waste was assessed in a glasshouse study. Characterisation of both biochars revealed high surface area (115 m2 g−1) and zones of calcium mineral

Characteristics of biochar: physical and structural properties

Autor: Paul Munroe, C. H. Chia, Adriana Downie

Publikováno v: Biochar for Environmental Management ISBN: 9780203762264

The process parameters that are used in biochar manufacture have a signifi cant effect on its physical and structural characteristics. These characteristics, in turn, will affect biochar’s interaction with soil systems. Soils are highly complex, mu
