Overview of the Benefits and Challenges Associated with Pelletizing Biochar

Biochar can be derived from a wide variety of organic materials including agricultural wastes and residues, animal wastes, municipal solid pulp paper mill sewage sludge. Its productivity relies on feedstock type thermochemical conditions production. has many application advantages in several fields been widely studied recent years. However, most these studies are mainly the powder form biochar, while its pelleted is sparsely reported. Even with reported biochar pellets, there still lack knowledge awareness effects different densification behavior biochar. The mechanisms densification, which appear to sensitive predominating during production, affected by material derived. This partly accounts for why pellets have not adopted various fields. Therefore, this presents an overview benefits associated use discusses challenges encountered when pelleting biochars that under carbonization conditions. Research priority areas needed overcome also identified discussed. purpose contribute better understanding pelletization behavior, offer insights useful comprehend some basic principles may occur process ease further more thorough investigations.
