Abstract

As an ameliorant, rice husk biochar (RHB) can improve soil quality and long-term carbon absorption and interaction with glyphosate during adsorption. This study investigated the ability of Inceptisol ameliorated with RHB to absorb glyphosate. Inceptisol ameliorated with 40-t ha-1 RHB increased the soil surface charge (ΔpH) by improving soil pH H2O, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, and soil organic matter. Linear and nonlinear models showed that fitting Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms is suitable for this study. The isotherm adsorption of glyphosate sequentially occurs in the Freundlich and Langmuir models (Inceptisol + 40-t ha-1 RHB > Inceptisol), where the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.938) is dominated by glyphosate adsorption on Inceptisol + 40-t ha-1 RHB with n of 0.46 and KF of 1.747 mg kg-1, whereas the Langmuir model (R2 = 0.8608) with Qm of 30.01 mg kg-1 and KL of 0.08 L mg-1 at a concentration level of 100 ppm and pH of the glyphosate solution 5.20 units. The glyphosate adsorption was also supported by changes in functional groups, where Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy shows a decrease in transmittance in the O-H; C=C; C-O; C-H, and mineral groups, indicating an increase in the adsorption capacity in Inceptisol ameliorated with 40-t ha-1 RHB. This study indicated that the physicochemical properties of Inceptisol are important in controlling the glyphosate adsorption ability of RHB in soils.

Abstract

The optimal utilization of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) waste holds significant potential for biomass bioconversion via slow pyrolysis, presenting a promising alternative for producing high-quality biochar as a soil ameliorant. This study investigates the effects of slow pyrolysis temperatures (≤ 300 °C) on the physicochemical properties of biochar derived from OPEFB and evaluates its efficacy as a soil ameliorant. This study utilized a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications across two experiments. The first experiment assessed the effect of slow pyrolysis temperature on the quality of biochar derived from OPEFB, with treatments set at four temperatures (150, 200, 250, and 300 °C) levels. The second experiment evaluated the impact of the selected biochar on the surface charge of oil palm plantation soil, applying biochar at five different doses (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 tons ha-¹). The potential temperature of 200 °C in slow pyrolysis had a significant effect on the quality of biochar from OPEFB with a yield ratio of 27.84% char; proximate (91.95% volatile matter and 0.81% fixed carbon), cation exchange capacity (CEC) [167.73 cmol(+) kg-1], and macro and micronutrients (e.g., C, N, P, K, Ca, Si, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn). The potential of O-H, N-H, C-H, and C=O functional groups of biochar from OPEFB for nutrient availability and absorption efficiency proven by the effect of 40 tons ha-1 biochar from OPEFB which significantly increased 80% of soil surface charge [pH by 0.80; organic matter (OM) composition by 19.8%, CEC by 11 cmol(+) kg-1] and nutrients [0.93% C; 0.04% N; 17.57 ppm P2O5; 0.65 cmol(+) kg-1 K] on Inceptisols.
