One of the main products pyrolysis is char. For better performance and improvement its physicochemical properties, it necessary to make temperature changes. In this study, different temperatures have been tested for rice husk, biochar obtained from process went through an evaluation test yield in removal emerging compounds such as azithromycin (AZT) erythromycin (ERY). this, husk has carried out at 450, 500, 550, 600 °C, biochars characterized by ultimate analysis proximate analysis, well...

Biochar has unique properties such as its porous structure, specific surface area, and stable chemical properties. The rice husk is characterized by high content of silica, that during the pyrolysis process it generates a considerable amount biochar can be used in different processes. aim this work to evaluate several biochars from reactivity lime pastes. For this, been obtained at four temperatures (450, 500, 550 600 °C), they have XRF, XRD, ICP-EOS, particle size distribution, determine...

Abstract Fly ash is currently a problem in different companies, mainly thermoelectric plants, which must follow production and consumption model that involves reusing, renewing, recycling, thus contributing to the circular economy. This work aims evaluate reactivity compressive strength of types ashes concrete monoliths. For this purpose, sugarcane bagasse (SCBA), bituminous coal (BC), untreated hazardous waste (RUD) were evaluated as replacements for cement. Monoliths mortars have been...
