Biochar from Biomass and Waste Fundamentals and Applications
Coordonnateurs : Ok Yong Sik, Tsang Daniel C.W., Bolan Nanthi, Novak Jeffrey M.
Biochar from Biomass and Waste: Fundamentals and Applications provides the fundamentals of biochar, such as its basic concepts, production technology and characterization methods, also including comprehensive examples for readers. This book includes information on state-of-art biochar application technologies in the fields of agriculture, energy and environmental sciences with step-by-step case studies. Biochar has received worldwide interests in the past decade because it encompasses high priority research areas, including bioenergy production, global warming mitigation and sustainable agriculture.
Section I: Production 1. Biochar, bio-oil and syngas 2. Biochar production technologies 3. Designer/Engineered biochar: Physical modification 4. Designer/Engineered biochar: Chemical modification
Section II: Characterization 5. Physical characterization 6. Chemical characterization 7. Surface characterization 8. Toxicity assessments
Section III: Application 9. Conventional applications of biochar 10. Emerging applications of biochar
