2 Case Study
A case study was performed to improve the soil fertility and to bring down the emission of carbon in Nepal. Nepal being an agrarian country, most of the country’s
population is directly being involved in agriculture. Agricultural use of biochar can
assist countryman to make use of biomass and simultaneously alter the soil to enhance
its water holding limit, upgrade microbial action. Biochar counters were set up in
the field locales at Amarapuri VDC, Nawalparasi and Kusma, Parbat. Soil examination report recommended that the soil at the site has low phosphorus content,
moderate measure of natural nitrogen and potassium, and low micronutrients. Proper
soil revision practices were prescribed to local people to manage the soil nutrients
[62].
2.1 Future Scope
Biochar has caused high yield enhancements on tropical and acidic humid soils.
Biochar can enhance water quality, reduce soil emissions of greenhouse gases, reduce
nutrient leaching, reduce soil acidity, and reduce irrigation and fertilizer requirement.
Introducing biochar at village includes biochar stoves and small-scale product
units. Biochar can be integrated into new organic systems for farming, building,
clothing, electronics, and consumer products. Biochar can initiate multiple cascades
to optimize and recycle materials desired for future use.
2.2 Conclusion
The use of dyes on a large scale leads to environmental pollution on a large extent.
Several different techniques are available to treat the dyes which are released from the
textile industries. Out of the many methods available, it is concluded that adsorption
technique is most feasible and preferred technique by the researchers because of
its low operating cost and its unique properties. Agricultural waste utilizing various
materials was employed from the production of biochar on a large scale. The biochar
demonstrated a very high removal capacity, and it proved itself as one of the effective
biosorbents which can be utilized to eliminate various pollutants and dyes present
in wastewater. As a result, biochar assures soil quality, and it plays a vital role to
eliminate various forms of pollutants present in the soil. Utilization of agricultural
squanders (biochar) was employed to produce bioenergy, to enhance soil fertility and
to decrease the carbon content.
