Wildfires in the Arctic are producing pyrogenic carbon as product of incomplete biomass combustion. The storage and distribution of pyrogenic carbon in soils is poorly known, especially in carbon rich ...

Fig. 3: Contribution and influence of explanatory variables on determining soil pyrogenic carbon (PyC) stock accumulation across tropical savannas in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Fig. 4: ...

In about 500 B.C., indigenous people in the Amazon began using pyrogenic carbon to increase soil fertility in nutrient-poor jungle soils. Pyrogenic carbon is the material produced by burning biomass — ...

Pyrogenic carbon, a carbon rich material produced when biomass burns or is converted into biochar, is widely found in soils, sediments, and aquatic environments around the world. Scientists have long ...

Pyrogenic carbon is widely produced during the incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels on land. About one-third of pyrogenic carbon is exported to the ocean by rivers, and thereinto, the ...

Wildfires leave behind large swathes of blackened earth when they raze a landscape. That charred material contains a host of molecules that could continue to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere ...

An innovative, decade-long experiment in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada mountains shows carbon stocks buried deep underground are vulnerable to climate change. The findings have ...

Wacker has started up a $150 million pyrogenic silica plant at its site in Charleston, Tennessee. The 13,000-metric-ton-per-year plant uses by-product tetrachlorosilane from Wacker’s 3-year-old ...

Wacker Chemie plans to spend $150 million to build a pyrogenic silica plant at its facility in Charleston, Tenn. Set to open in the first half of 2019, the plant will have annual capacity of about ...
