The book describes the production and the characteristics of biochar through various techniques/methods such as pyrolysis, gasification, torrefaction, and hydrothermal carbonization of carbonaceous biomass, such as agri-residues, algal biomass, forest residues, manures, activated sludge, energy crops, digestate at high temperature (300?900 °C) and under O2-limiting conditions. The book also highlights the several unique properties of biochar such as an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly material for diverse contaminants removal. The variability in physicochemical properties (e.g., surface area, micro-porosity, and pH) provides an avenue for biochar to maximize its efficacy to targeted applications. This book interests academics working in the development of green and sustainable technologyin agricultural engineering, material science, chemical engineering, and environmental science. 410 0$aSustainable Materials and Technology,$x2731-0434 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aGreen chemistry 606 $aSustainability 606 $aPlant Materials 606 $aGreen Chemistry 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aGreen chemistry. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aPlant Materials. 615 24$aGreen Chemistry. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a620.19 700 $aBhawani$b Showkat Ahmad$01770276 701 $aBhat$b Aamir Hussain$01779994 701 $aWahi$b Rafeah$01779995 701 $aNgaini$b Zainab$01779996 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917782503321 996 $aBiochar$94303655 997 $aUNINA
