Combined effects of biochar and fertilizer applications on yield: A review and meta-analysis

Shahla Hosseini Bai et al.

Summary: This article investigates the impact of the combined application of biochar and fertilizers on crop yield. The meta-analysis of 57 published articles suggests that both biochar and inorganic fertilizer can individually increase crop yield. However, the co-application of biochar with fertilizers shows the highest yield increase, especially in acidic soils. The temperature of biochar production and the C:N ratio also influence its effectiveness.

Anaerobic digestate as a low-cost nutrient source for sustainable microalgae cultivation: A way forward through waste valorization approach

Chi Cheng Chong et al.

Summary: Microalgae are considered high potential feedstocks for liquid fuels to meet the increasing global energy demand, but the high costs of nutrients can hinder commercialization. Using organic-rich anaerobic digestate as a low-cost nutrient source can improve economic viability and sustainability of microalgae production, while also reducing waste and reutilizing organic fractions. Proposed solutions such as digestate dilution, microalgae strain selection, and additional organics can address challenges related to nutrient availability and toxicity, providing future directions for research in cultivating microalgae.

Combined application of biochar and N fertilizer shifted nitrification rate and amoA gene abundance of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in salt-affected anthropogenic-alluvial soil

Rongjiang Yao et al.

Summary: Biochar and N fertilizer addition inhibited autotrophic nitrification mainly by greatly reducing the abundance of amoA-AOB gene, which was adaptive to the changing soil microhabitat traits induced by biochar application and N fertilization. The AOB dominated the autotrophic nitrification process with the nitrification rate showing a higher positive correlation with the abundance of the amoA-AOB gene than with that of the amoA-AOA gene.

Nitrous oxide respiring bacteria in biogas digestates for reduced agricultural emissions

Kjell Rune Jonassen et al.

Summary: Inoculating agricultural soils with nitrous oxide respiring bacteria (NRB) through digestates obtained after biogas production can effectively reduce N2O emissions. This low-cost and large-scale approach using digestates as carriers for NRB demonstrates potential for future applications in engineering the soil microbiome, with benefits for plant growth, bioremediation, and other functions.

Mechanism of digestate-derived biochar on odorous gas emissions and humification in composting of digestate from food waste

Ning Wang et al.

Summary: The addition of biochar derived from food waste (BC-DFW) in the composting process of digestate from food waste (DFW) can reduce the emissions of ammonia and volatile sulfur compounds, shorten the composting duration, and promote the degradation of organic matter and humification.

Environmental implications, potential value, and future of food-waste anaerobic digestate management: A review

James O'Connor et al.

Summary: The valorisation of food waste into digestate through anaerobic digestion is important for achieving a circular bioeconomy. Food waste digestate can provide essential nutrients to soils, increase yield, and potentially replace synthetic fertilisers. Integrating anaerobic digestion with emerging uses can reduce inhibitory sources of digestate and provide economic opportunities for businesses.

Assessing the Wastewater Pollutants Retaining for a Soil Aquifer Treatment using Batch Column Experiments

V. R. Raji et al.

Summary: In this study, Secondary Treated Waste-Water (STWW) is infiltrated through the soil matrix to eliminate contaminants. The research shows that fine sand soil performs the best in removing organic compounds in a wetting/drying cycle. This method is effective in reducing water pollution from the environment and managing aquifer recharge.

Coconut husk biochar amendment enhances nutrient retention by suppressing nitrification in agricultural soil following anaerobic digestate application

Jidapa Plaimart et al.

Summary: The study found that coconut husk biochar can slow down nitrate leaching in soil, reduce the abundance of nitrifying archaea and bacteria, and help improve soil nutrient conditions. This is relevant for the development of a more circular rural economy with waste minimization, renewable energy production, nutrient recycling, and reduced water pollution from agricultural land.

Valorization of anaerobic digestion digestate: A prospect review

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: Anaerobic digestion is seen as a promising technology for bioenergy production, generating digestate as residual waste. The digestate contains both organic and inorganic matters, which can be considered as risky contaminants if not properly treated, but can also be valuable resources if recovered adequately. This review examines current research efforts on digestate valorization, focusing on resource recovery and potential applications, including conversion techniques and economic feasibility. The prospects for digestate valorization are optimistic.

Fertilizer demand and potential supply through nutrient recovery from organic waste digestate in California

Kevin D. Orner et al.

Summary: The diversion of organic waste through anaerobic digestion presents an opportunity to recover valuable nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, with municipal sewage sludge being the largest potential source for recovery. The nutrient recovery rates vary for different end products, with liquid fertilizer, struvite, and compost contributing to offsetting synthetic fertilizer demand in California to different extents. In a profitable build-out scenario for anaerobic digestion facilities, recovered nutrients could offset a significant portion of the state's synthetic fertilizer demand.
