Catalyzed biochar from date palm waste for ammonium removal: potential application in poultry farms for ammonia mitigation by Shymaa Saad Sayed Ibrahim, Yossry Bayoumy Abd-Elhay, Mohamed Mustafa Elkoly, Ahmed El-Raie Emam Suliman, Badr Ali Mohamed

“…Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the biochar without catalysts has a rough surface and pores of varying sizes, resulting in a relatively high specific surface area (39.52 m2/g), a critical feature for sorbent materials, and the interior of the biochar had evident, homogenous pores that formed cylinder-shaped structures. The findings of Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) analysis conclude that biochar shows oxygen-functional groups (i.e., ‒OH and C‒O‒C). …”
