Biomass-derived activated carbons: promising green materials for environmental remediation

摘要

Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable resource that can be used to produce energy by several technologies, such as pyrolysis, liquefaction, and gasification. Among all biomass conversion processes, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a technology that enables the preparation of carbon materials, being widely used due to its simplicity, low-cost, greenness and high efficiency.
