Abstract

Owing to the natural texture of dam lakes, they emit nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The main aim of this study was to reduce N2O emissions resulting from dam lake treatment using malt dust-derived biochar. On average, a 21.1% reduction in N2O emissions from dam lake treatment was reported using malt dust-derived biochar. The maximum nitrous oxide capture capacity corresponded to the malt dust-derived biochar fabricated at the minimum pyrolysis temperature (MD1). The statistical analysis results revealed that the optimum parameters were 4 mg/L of dissolved oxygen (DO) and 11 mg/L of nitrate (NO3) for the minimum N2O emission. The highest correlation was calculated between N2O emission and NO3 with the value of 97.99%. This study evidenced that agro-industrial biochar can adsorb N2O from dam lakes.
