moist biomass into hydrochar solid fuel with superior fuel properties with the avoidance of …

Growing concerns over climate change have prompted the quest for renewable energies to
mitigate adverse impacts caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels. In particular, using …

The optimization of microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization for corn stalk was
conducted to study the effects of reaction temperature (122.7–257.3° C), residence time (4.8 …

Hydrothermal carbonization is a thermochemical treatment whose objective is to convert
carbohydrate components of a given biomass into carbon-rich material in an aqueous …

Yard waste is either dumped or is being openly burned to get rid of it, instead of using it as a
valuable renewable energy source. In this study, hydrothermal carbonization of yard waste …

Lignin valorization has gained increasing attention over the past decade. Being the world's
largest source of renewable aromatics, its valorization could pave the way towards more …
