Biomass fast pyrolysis produces bio-oil and biochar achieving circular economy. This review
explored the emerging applications of biochar. Biochar possesses the unique properties for …

There is a growing interest of the scientific community on production of activated carbon
using biochar as potential sustainable precursors pyrolyzed from biomass wastes. Physical …

Biochar is mainly used as a soil amendment and for carbon sequestration; while other
applications such as environmental remediation may be equally important. Recently …

Modified biochar (BC) is reviewed in its preparation, functionality, applications and
regeneration. The nature of precursor materials, preparatory conditions and modification …

Novel magnetic biochars (MBC) were prepared by one-step pyrolysis of FeCl3-laden
biomass and employed for Hg0 removal in simulated combustion flue gas. The sample …

Activated carbon is the most widely used gaseous mercury adsorbent. However, lack of
active sites on its surface leads to its poor mercury adsorption ability. Various modification …
