Comparative Assessment of Softwood Biochar Via Various Thermochemical Conversion Technologies: A Physicochemical Characterization Study
Short Introductive summary
We know that there is a huge conversation going on across the globe to limit the average change in global temperature to 1.5 °C. And definitely, there should be a substitute for coal-based fossil fuels. My research work titled "Comparative assessment of softwood biochar via various thermochemical conversion technologies: A Physicochemical characterization study" involves investigating and comparing the physicochemical properties of softwood biochar produced through three distinct heat treatment methods: Thermocatalytic Reforming (TCR), Tube Furnace Pyrolysis (TFP), and a combination of Hydrothermal processing and Tube Furnace Pyrolysis. The significance of this study lies in its potential to elucidate the impact of heat treatment methodologies on char properties and, subsequently, identify how it can serve as a multifaceted material, addressing both environmental and energy-related challenges.
