Could anyone give me some references on the effective range of CO2/biochar ratio to study?

I am calculating from Boudouard reaction the amount of CO2 needed for the activation but I am assuming 100% carbon which is not true and a high flowrate might be problematic for bio-char...

What is the fastest way to analyse (plant) nutrients (Na, K, Mg, p, Fe, Mn, Zn) in water?

So I've been reading about infrared spectroscopy to detect the nutrients in the liquid. I have no clue how it works. I know for FT-IR you have, basically, a reference wavelength that you associate...

Thank you. In fact I made some changes to the method proposed by Cross & Sohi (your last paper). They stated that based on their calculation the method is equivalent to 50-100 years of ageing. They also provide the supplementary material that I have difficulty to understand.

If you are familiar with what they did and how they estimated the MRT based on Lehmann's study, please let me know.
