Published at Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering – Production of Biochar by Slow and Solar-Biomass Pyrolysis: Focus on the Output Configuration Assessment, Adaptability, and Barriers to Market Penetration

Abstract: Biochar production through slow pyrolysis is a versatile and adaptable approach for managing diverse biomass waste. However, their industrial applications remain limited because of their high energy consumption and the emission of toxic gases. Solar-biomass pyrolysis systems have been proposed to address these challenges. This review examines the relationship between output configuration and the …
