Biochar is a carbonaceous material produced by thermal treatment, eg, pyrolysis, of biomass
in oxygen-deficient or oxygen-free environment. Nitrogen containing functional groups of …

The application of biochars for the remediation of water and soils contaminated with
potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has seen a recent growing interest. The mechanisms of …

Microwave heating is a promising solution to overcome the shortcomings of conventional
heating in biomass pyrolysis. Nevertheless, biomass microwave pyrolysis is a complex …

This work aimed to investigate the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the yield and properties
of biochars synthesized from herbaceous and woody plants. Four typical materials, including …

Sawdust materials are global wastes obtained from wood processing and exploitation
activities. They are usually dumped/stored in uncontrolled conditions, thus becoming a …

A comparative techno-economic assessment and Monte Carlo risk analysis is performed on
large scale (3 tonne/h) biochar production plants for conventional (CPS) and microwave …

The aim of this work was to analyse the influence of the pyrolysis temperature and feedstock
composition on biochar yield and physicochemical properties. The raw materials to be …

Conventional thermochemical conversion techniques for biofuel production from
lignocellulosic biomass is often non-selective and energy inefficient. Microwave assisted …

We evaluated the fuel, thermal and surface properties of twelve biochars produced from
three lignocellulosic (canola straw, sawdust, wheat straw) and one non-lignocellulosic …

As biochar gains popularity within agricultural applications, proper selection of feedstocks
and pyrolysis conditions are crucial to maximising its added value. In this study, biochars …
