The elimination of emerging contaminants (ECs) from aquatic environment has become a
worldwide concern due to their widespread occurrence and consequent detrimental effects …

Over the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in using char (hydrochar or
biochar) derived from biomass as persulfate (PS, either peroxymonosulfate or …

Hydrothermal carbonization is emerging as a promising eco-friendly technology for the
management of wet biomass wastes through energy recovery. It avoids drying of the …

Sewage sludge is nowadays a permanent element of our lives. One promising idea is to turn
these wastes into fuels. Special scientific attention is given to the possibility of applying the …

The depletion of fossil fuels heralds the rise of renewable energy resources. Biomass is the
most widespread renewable energy resource that can be used not only as an energy …

The thermochemical treatments of biowaste yield alternative renewable carbon-rich
materials, while achieving waste valorization. These technologies allow to reduce amount of …

Hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) can transform wet lignocellulosic biomass, which is not
considered an effective biofuel for energy production at the industrial level, into a …

Hydrothermal treatment (HT) of sewage sludge (SS) is a promising method to improve its
dewaterability. Effect of HT on devolatilization performance, kinetic parameters, and …

This work focuses on the production of activated carbons by hydrothermal carbonization of
olive stones at 220° C, followed by chemical activation with KOH, FeCl3 and H3PO4 of the …

In this study, nano-porous carbon was completely obtained from oil palm leaves (OPL) by
hydrothermal pretreatment with chemical activation, using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an …
