the best solution is to found a way for regeneration process of the biomass in order to reuse it, especially in the case of organic pollutant.

Alaa Jabbar Al-Manhel

My opinion its good for application....you can see this link

Thank you Omar for your suggestion.

Following the answers.

Lord Famiyeh

Biomass waste absorbents (eg. biochar) have industrial prospects for removal of pollutants. I suggest that professors working in this area should collaborate with industries to see how it can put into practical use considering its low cost compared to other available methods. Intensive research is also very recommendable at this stage.

Rakesh Kumar

Biosorbent is emerging as a potential alternative technique to the existing conventional technologies; its application is economically acceptable because it reuse biological materials with their major advantages: low cost, high efficiency, renewability, minimization of chemical or biological sludge, easy regeneration of biosorbents and possibility of metal recovery.

Hi Laura,

Please take a look at Green carbon project http://greencarbon-etn.eu/project/ the key is to find cascading value and uses before returning the carbon to land.

Overcoming end of waste is a key challenge - the test in the waste framework directive needs to be met.

Andrew

Khaled Muftah Elsherif

The transition from laboratory to industrial level is not yet complete

I have to agree with Khaled. The processes currently making biochar in the UK are small scale and niche with scales less that 1MWt, so under the regulatory pressures of emission controls. They are similar to charcoal burners.

What is needed is large scale production operations - but it is chicken and egg.

I think there is no doubt that bio-chars have some good functionality and ultimately there return to the land is beneficial.

Asad Ullah

Most of the industries produces a wide range of flyash and char products besides their key products.The same time they produce a large quantity or wastewater. They can efficiently use these char products as adsorbents to treat their wastewater, the added advantage could be the recycling of the adsorbent. The examples are palm oil, solid fuel power plants, chicken and fish industries, and many others. However, further investigation on required quantities of adsornbents and economic impact may be required for specific industries.

I agree with Dr. Andrew Goddard

Thank you Dr. Al-Khashman.

Thank you Omar Ali Al-Khashman

Dimitrios A. Giannakoudakis

Depends the economical frasibility. Maybe we think in many cases that biomass as a waste should be utilized for a specific application, this does not exclude the reality that this is can be a part of the nature cycle. The problem is when the biomass is produced in huge amounts at precific spots due to an industrial or agricultural process. In these cases, the derived wastes its better and more econonical feasible to used for an alternative application rather than to be dispersed correctly. So, the combination of different biomass targeting to subergistically solve some issues has a future but its not the best strategy for a sustainable future...
