Abstract(s)
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid product
of biomass thermal conversion, which
contains several properties for a wide
range of applications that promote the
attention of industries and
researchers. The porous structure of
char particles enables its application
as soil fertilizer, adsorbent, catalyst,
among others [1].
In this context, biomass is a critical
resource, as it can be used for biochar
production at the same time produce
renewable energy, being able to
mitigate climate change phenomena.
There are many advantages to using
biomass as an energy source, namely
its carbon neutrality and being a nonpolluting
source. In this context, the
main technologies for fuel and/or
energy production from biomass are
pyrolysis, gasification, or combustion
[2].
Among technologies for biomass
conversion, pyrolysis is widely used,
consisting of a thermal decomposition
process in absence of oxygen, to
convert biomass into biochar, bio-oil
and gases, generating no waste during
the process
