Design of biochar from residual streams – influence of fuel and process parameters on biochar properties for water and soil applications

Biochar can be used in many applications, including water treatment and soil improvement. The properties of biochar are affected by the conditions during production. In this project, the influence on the properties of the biochar at different process conditions is investigated through the gasification of residual streams from both the forestry and agricultural sectors. The objective of this work was to achieve a time-resolved understanding of the conversion of biochar during gasification, perform characterisation of the biochar, and find a combination of methods for relevant characterisation of biochar physical properties with relevance for water treatment and soil amendment.https://www.umu.se/en/research/projects/design-of-biochar-from-residual-streams–influence-of-fuel-and-process-parameters-on-biochar-properties-for-water-and-soil-applications/
