Waste-derived Biochar for Sustainable Rural Revitalization, 1st Edition, is a 528-page reference volume edited by Yuqing Sun and Daniel C. W. Tsang and published by Wiley-Blackwell. The text summarizes technical methods for application-oriented biochar production derived from agricultural and biomass waste resources.
The volume details thermal conversion pathways, including slow, fast, microwave, and flash pyrolysis, alongside physical and chemical modification procedures. It systematically examines rural applications ranging from renewable biofuels and energy recovery during waste fermentation to organic seeding substrates. Further chapters cover slow-release fertilizers, slow-release pesticides, targeting plant disease suppressors, and the physical, chemical, and biological conditioning of farmland soils.
This structured reference offers clear procedural insights for professionals evaluating biochar behavior in rural environmental settings. It is designed for engineers, scientists, researchers, and graduate students specializing in waste recycling and management, sustainable rural development, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and environmental engineering.
