Char and Carbon Materials Derived from Biomass: Production, Characterization and Applications

Char and Carbon from Biomass: Production, Characterization and Applications provides an overview of biomass chars production methods (pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, etc.), as well as the characterization techniques typically used such as (Scanning Electronic Microscopy, X-Ray Fluorescence, Nitrogen adsorption, etc. In addition, the book includes a discussion of the various properties of biomass chars and their suitable recovery processes and concludes with demonstrating the various applications for Biochars. Biomass can be converted to energy, biofuels, and, bioproducts, via thermochemical conversion processes, such as combustion, pyrolysis and gasification. Combustion technology is the most widely applied on an industrial scale. This book will prove useful for materials researchers and engineers working in the energy production and storage fields, as well as waste treatment, gas treatment, liquid effluent treatment, agronomy and environmental industries. Provides a discussion of sources of biomass feedstocks such as agricultural, woody plants, and food processing residue Discusses the various production processes of biomass chars including pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization Explores various applications of biomass chars within different industries including energy and agronomy
