The production of increasing quantities of by-products is a key challenge for modern society;
their valorisation–turning them into valuable compounds with technological applications–is …

A porous biochar was manufactured through the valorization of waste pork bones, following
a three-step process including pre-charring under mild conditions, acid treatment and …

Conversion of hazardous waste materials to value-added products is of great interest from
both agro-environmental and economic points of view. Bone char (BC) has been used for …

To increase the added value of corn stalk and improve the performance of corn stalk
biochar, magnesium chloride (MgCl2) was used to modify biochar, and the effects of …

The valorisation of animal wastes by pyrolysis has shown to be of interest, due to the
versatility of the main compound of char, hydroxyapatite (HAP), which can be used in …

Biochar is traditionally made from clean lignocellulosic or waste materials that create no
competition for land use. In this paper, the suitability of alternative feedstocks of agricultural …

Biochar has been extensively used in ferrous metallurgy in recent years as it has
comparable metallurgical properties to coke and coal, showing great potential for reduction …

It is known that properties of activated biochars are tightly associated with those of the
original feedstock as well as pyrolysis and activation conditions. This study examined two …

The utilization of livestock manure for biochar production has received much attention
mainly due to the greenhouse gases mitigation and crop/fertilizer production. In this work, a …
