The group at UniKL is lead by Robert Bachmann and has been working on physico-chemical characterization of fresh and charred biomass since 2006--first for application in wastewater treatment and subsequently for applications to soil. They participate in collaborative projects and conduct in-house research on production and use of biochar for soil quality improvement, use of biochar for soil C sequestration, use of biochar for soil remediation, and characterization of biochar. The group has six staff and students.
The group hosted its first biochar workshop in December 2009 and a second in March 2010 (http://www.micet.edu.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=133).
Specific research includes:
Bachmann, R.T., Rupp, F., Zainal, H., Wan Abdul Karim Ghani, W.A., Taufiq-Yap, Y.H., Hasan, M.Y., Hamzah, Z. (2009) Biochar to enhance sustainability of crop production, reduce fertilizer needs and greenhouse gas emissions.
