The biochar is a solid carbon-rich, porous material produced by the thermochemical
conversion of a diverse range of biomass feedstocks under an inert atmosphere (ie, in the …

Biochar is the carbon-rich product of the pyrolysis of biomass under oxygen-limited
conditions, and it has received increasing attention due to its multiple functions in the fields …

Pretreatment is an important process to transform lignocellulosic biomass to high-value
chemicals. This process potentially provides economic sustainability, which is challenged by …

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 …

Biomass is increasingly perceived as a renewable resource rather than as an organic solid
waste today, as it can be converted to various chemicals, biofuels, and solid biochar using …

Pyrolysis of protein-rich biomass, such as microalgae, macroalgae, sewage sludge, energy
crops, and some lignocellulosic biomass, produces bio-oil with high nitrogen (N) content …

Lead (Pb) pollution in natural water bodies is an environmental concern due to toxic effects
on aquatic ecosystems and human health, while adsorption is an effective approach to …

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

One of the main drawbacks of using biomass as pyrolysis feedstock consists of the huge
variability of the different biomass resources which undermines the viability of downstream …

The petroleum industry has developed rapidly since its inception and evolved into an
irreplaceable society component, especially in the urban areas. Besides being a limited …
