In recent years, torrefaction, a kind of biomass thermal pretreatment technology, has
received a great deal of attention due to its effective upgrading performance of biomass …

The extent of the soil organic carbon pool doubles that present in the atmosphere and is
about two to three times greater than that accumulated in living organisms in all Earth's …

After vegetation fires considerable amounts of severely or partly charred necromass
(referred to here as char) are incorporated into the soil, with long-term consequences for soil …

Biochar (carbonized biomass for agricultural use) has been used worldwide as soil
amendment and is a technology of particular interest for Brazil, since its" inspiration" is from …

The oxidation of surface functional groups on biochar increases its reactivity and may
contribute to the cation exchange capacity of soil. In this study, two Eucalyptus wood …

In the recent years, special focus has been given to the issues related to the management of
biomass conversion systems by-products. In the view of transforming those products, mostly …

While the properties of biochar are closely related to its functional groups, it is unclear under
what conditions biochar develops its properties. In this study, two-dimensional (2D) 13C …

The latest addition to this lauded series, this reference collects pioneering research on the
chemistry and physics of carbon surfaces and the structural properties of carbons. Written by …
