Biochar properties can be significantly influenced by feedstock source and pyrolysis
conditions; this warrants detailed characterisation of biochars for their application to improve …

Biochar can be derived from a wide variety of organic materials including agricultural wastes
and residues, animal wastes, municipal solid wastes, pulp and paper mill wastes, and …

Biochar, derived from the pyrolysis of biomass, has received great attention in literature for
many applications. Owing to its high specific surface area and surface chemistry, the use of …

This study forms the fundamental foundation for the development of a novel carbon arrestor
process to produce a functionalized biochar. In this study, an experimental investigation was …

Biochar typically consists of both carbon and mineral fractions, and the carbon fraction has
been generally considered to determine its properties and applications. Recently, an …

Agri-food residues or by-products have increased their contribution to the global tally of
unsustainably generated waste. These residues, characterized by their inherent …

Conversion of rice straw (RS) and pig manure (PM) into chars is a promising
disposal/recycling option. Herein, pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization were used to …

Poultry manure (PM) chars were obtained at different temperatures and charring times.
Chemical–physical characterization of the different PM chars was conducted by cross …

Many organic residue streams such as pig manure are not or inefficiently used, although
they can be converted into valuable materials, as well as energy, using pyrolysis. The yield …

The iron and steel sector is under immense pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, energy
consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. With nearly 70% of the energy consumed …
