Low-cost biochar produced by hydrothermal carbonization of compost derived from municipal solid waste.

However, the production of compost from MBT is higher than the existing demand. This work proposes the valorization of compost derived from MSW to produced activated carbons by Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) [1].engconference object
