Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Biochar Towards Sustainable Environment

The primary concern of environmental sustainability is to: (i) reduce use of physical and depletable resources; (ii) recycle and use renewable resources; (iii) redesign the production process to eliminate the production of toxic materials and protect the environment. Biochar, as a renewable material, can be produced from various sustainable biomass feedstocks through pyrolysis technologies. Biochar Towards Sustainable Environment highlights the contribution of biochar to environmental sustainability. The book provides a detailed overview of the sustainable biomass wastes feedstocks and different technologies for biochar production, and its sustainable applications in various aspects. Includes sustainable production and activation of biochar from various biowastes Describes multiple applications of biochar for sustainable environment Covers sustainable assessments of the biochar production and application INDICE: 1.
