Production of biochar from crop residues and its application for anaerobic digestion

Biochar‐based catalysts derived from biomass waste: production, characterization, and application for liquid biofuel synthesis

“…Lignin adds to the overall stability and carbon content of the biochar, hemicellulose controls its reactivity, cellulose impacts its structural integrity, and extractives, which include a wide range of organic compounds, offer distinctive properties to the biochar. 38 The interaction of various components during pyrolysis produces biochar with distinct properties, so a thorough understanding of feedstock composition is required to develop biochar for specific purposes. 39,40 Significantly, lignocellulosic biomass including municipal solid waste, wood and agriculture wastes, and energy crops, has been considered a suitable bioresource for biochar production.…”

Precise Prediction of Biochar Yield and Proximate Analysis by Modern Machine Learning and SHapley Additive exPlanations

“…Also, the yield and properties of biochar are heavily influenced by the process conditions during pyrolysis. 19,20 These conditions include the temperature, heating rate, residence duration, and presence or absence of oxygen. These variables have a great deal to do with how quickly biomass breaks down, how chemicals change, and how biochar is produced at the end.…”

“…Biochar yield refers to the amount of biochar produced during the pyrolysis process, whereas proximate analysis of biochar requires determining its composition, which includes the amount of carbon, volatile matter, ash content, and moisture content. , A variety of factors can influence biochar yield and proximate analysis. , Among these, the selection of biomass that is used for producing biochar is very important since it has an immense impact because different feedstocks possess distinct chemical structures and make biochar products with different properties and yields. , Key factors like the lignin content, cellulose-to-lignin ratio, and ash level of the feedstock have significant impacts on the biochar that is created. Also, the yield and properties of biochar are heavily influenced by the process conditions during pyrolysis. , These conditions include the temperature, heating rate, residence duration, and presence or absence of oxygen. These variables have a great deal to do with how quickly biomass breaks down, how chemicals change, and how biochar is produced at the end. , To generate the finest biochar possible, researchers are searching for the exact pyrolysis conditions that will produce the most biochar while giving it the properties they want.…”

Multi-functionalization of woody biochar tuned for sustainable surface microbiological processes: a case study for energy applications

“…Recently, numerous strategic methodologies, including optimisation of pyrolysis conditions and temperature, activating agents, and pH, have been developed to tailor the physico-chemical properties of biochar. 15 Due to these tuneable properties, biochar finds diverse applications in many fields, including soil remediation, 16 carbon storage, 17 manure composting, 18 decontamination of water and waste water 19,20 by means of micro and macro filters, 21 biogas production, 22 detoxificants, 23 in the building sector, 24 air pollution management, 25 in textiles as a fabric addictive and flame-retardant clothing, 26 catalysts, 27 activators, 1 electrode materials, and modifiers. 28 It has also been reported that the stable porous matrix of the biochar acts as a good microenvironment for microorganisms.…”
