Solid waste in the cities of low-and middle-income countries is characterized by a high
organic fraction and management of this municipal solid waste is known for low collection …

The conversion of agricultural, food, biofuel and forestry residues into value-added products
via pyrolysis represents many advantages. Bio-char is created during pyrolysis and to a …

In a perspective of biomass value addition, biomass char, a thermochemical product, long
time considered as a residue, is now getting attention and may represent a vector in the …

Biochar refers to the high-carbon, black fine-grained product of biomass pyrolysis.
Independent studies repeatedly confirmed that its incorporation into arable land is a reliable …

Wood wastes are one of the leading contributors of greenhouse gases cum climate change.
While the burning of wood wastes results in CO2 emission, decomposition generates …

This study focused on the valorization of different types of waste biomass through biochar
production at two pyrolysis temperatures (400 and 600 C). The different feedstocks being …

The removal of crop residues for bio-energy production reduces the formation of soil organic
carbon (SOC) and therefore can have negative impacts on soil fertility. Pyrolysis …

Abstract This chapter gives an overview of the key technologies to produce biochar. First, an
introduction will be given to the different thermochemical conversion techniques of dry …

Biochars from various feedstock's were produced using a small scale tube furnace and a
larger scale muffle furnace via slow pyrolysis as well as a homemade top lit updraft unit. All …

Pyrolysis is an energy conversion technology which by heating organic materials in the
absence of oxygen, produces liquid, gaseous, and solid fuel products. Biochar, the solid …
