Alongside the development of pyrolysis processes aimed at converting solid biomass into
upgraded biofuels and biochemicals, interest has been growing in the analysis of the …

Biomass has been recognised as a promising resource for future energy and fuels. The
biomass, originated from plants, is renewable and application of its derived energy and fuels …

This work evaluated the novel application of biochars derived from potassium (K)-rich
feedstock (banana peels (BB) and cauliflower leaves (CB)). The sorptive property of the …

The increasing demand for renewable chemicals and fuels requires the exploitation of
alternative feedstock to replace petroleum-derived chemicals and fuels. Lignocellulosic …

Firstly, this paper reviews two main methods for biochar synthesis, namely conventional
pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). The related processes are described, and …

Zero-valent iron and biochar composite (ZVI/BC) is a prospective catalyst for activating
persulfate and specific surface area (SSA) of ZVI/BC is one of the most important factors …

According to the International Biochar Initiative (IBI), biochar is a charcoal which can be
applied to soil for both agricultural and environmental gains. Biochar technology seems to …

Potassium is a natural catalyst in biomass thermochemical conversion and plays an
essential role in plant's growth. To figure out the catalytic effects of potassium on the …

Among the serious global issues facing mankind at present are climate change and
environmental pollution. Directly linked to these is the increasing demand to discover …

Hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) materials contain organized pores having different scales
of diameters. These materials exhibit surprisingly high performance in various applications …
