Integrated Thermochemical Valorization of Vineyard Residues and N-Rich Biowastes for the Production of Functionalized Biochars
Short Introductive summary
This work introduces an integrated thermochemical approach for converting vineyard residues and nitrogen-rich industrial biowastes into functionalized biochars designed for nutrient recovery and agricultural use. By combining controlled pyrolysis, steam activation, nitrogen enrichment and nanoencapsulation, the process produces biochars that meet EBC requirements while enhancing nutrient retention, reducing leaching and providing stable carbon sequestration. Supported by indicative IPSEpro mass–energy modeling, the study demonstrates a scalable pathway that links waste reduction, nutrient recycling and climate-positive carbon storage—contributing to circular and sustainable agricultural systems.
