A Holistic Approach for the Minimization of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Emissions from Brewery Wastewater Treatment Using Malt Sprout Derived Biochar

This study investigated the minimization of the N2O emissions related to brewery wastewater treatment by malt-sprout-derived biochar. The biochar was derived using slow pyrolysis (300 (B1), 400 (B2), and 550 °C (B3)). The correspondence between the N2O emission and wastewater treatment quality was investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. An average of 25.6% of minimization in N2O emissions was reported by malt-sprout-derived biochar. The simulation results showed that the Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and ammonium (NH4-N) had the highest correspondence with N2O emissions.
