Characterization of Apatite and Biochar Surfaces

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR, JASCO FT/IR- 4600, JASCO International Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was applied to investigate functional groups on the surface of the apatite and biochar (CB400, CB600) [36 (link),37 (link)]. The field emission electron microscope (FE-SEM, JSM-6700F, JEOL, Akishima Tokyo, Japan) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) was used to analyze the surface morphology and chemical composition of the amendments [91 (link),92 (link)]. The surface area and dimensional pore of the materials were investigated using a BET analyzer (TriStar II 3020, Micromeritics Instrument Corporation, 4356 Communications Dr, Norcross, GA 30093, United States) [91 (link),93 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
