Water uptake in biochars: The roles of porosity and hydrophobicity

Creator:

Gray, Myles, Johnson, Mark G., Dragila, Maria I., and Kleber, Markus

Abstract:

We assessed the effects of porosity and hydrophobicity on water uptake by biochars. Biochars were produced from two feedstocks (hazelnut shells and Douglas fir chips) at three production temperatures (370°C, 500°C, and 620°C). To distinguish the effects of porosity from the effects of hydrophobicity, we compared uptake of water to...

Biochars as a potting amendment in greenhouse nurseries: How to eliminate unwanted ethylene emissions

Creator:

Fulton, Will, Gray, Myles, Prahl, Fredrick, and Kleber, Markus

Abstract:

Biochars have potential value for greenhouse nurseries as a potting amendment, reducing the need for environmentally costly products currently in use. The onsite manufacture of biochars by pyrolysis of woody waste offers additional greenhouse value as a source of clean heat. However, recent work observed that some biochars may evolve...
