This chapter introduces the thermochemical processes that produce biochar. It begins by
discussing the raw materials of biochar and then explains and compares different …

Biochar produced during the thermochemical decomposition of biomass not only reduces
the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere, but it is also an environment-friendly …

Biochar production cannot be properly discussed without first distinguishing it from char and
charcoal. All three forms of carbonaceous material are produced from pyrolysis, the process …

Biochar obtained from the thermal conversion of biomass has high potential as a substitute
material for activated carbon and other carbon-based materials because it is economical …

Biochar is highly valuable in various applications due to its unique physicochemical
properties such as high thermal efficiency, high surface area, surface functional groups, and …

Biochar is a carbon-rich product obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass.
Utilizing biochar is essential for enhancing economic viability and maintaining the ecology …

Recently, there is an upsurge interest of using biomass derived char products in various
fields, in order to address some of the most urgent energy and environmental problems we …
