Sustainable Biochar-Based Adsorbents for Low-Pressure CO2 Adsorption
Short Introductive summary
The SusValEn Project of the National Call for Strategic Lines 2022 aims to valorize biowaste from the wood board processing and manufacturing industry to produce sustainable biogas, H2, biochar and biomethanol through the optimization of transformation technologies and the development of a comprehensive, flexible and energy-efficient concept. Within the framework of this project, one of the tasks of our Group is to carry out the optimization of biochar production from lignocellulosic waste from various biomasses such as poplar, birch and chestnut for subsequent scaled-up in an industrial pyrolysis plant. Although the main application of biochar within SusValEn will be as a substrate for gardening, these biochars can satisfy many of the chemical composition and porous texture requirements to make them good adsorbent candidates, particularly in gas separations (i.e., CO2 adsorption). In addition, they have a number of advantages, such as their availability, low environmental impact, lower sensitivity to humid conditions, easy regeneration and the possibility of achieving a net reduction of carbon emissions when integrated into BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) process
