The effect of pyrolysis conditions on biochar stability as determined by three methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the Edinburgh accelerated ageing tool (Edinburgh stability tool) was used to evaluate the long-term stability of biochar in three feedstocks (Pine, Rice husk and Wheat straw) at four temperatures (350, 450, 550 and 650°C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of production conditions on the yield and environmental stability of biochar
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared biochar production conditions to the yield and properties of biochar, particularly its long-term stability, and found that the yield of stable biochar fraction is nearly independent of the temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective life cycle carbon abatement for pyrolysis biochar systems in the UK
TL;DR: In this paper, a life cycle assessment of slow pyrolysis biochar systems (PBS) in the UK for small, medium and large scale process chains and ten feedstocks was performed, assessing carbon abatement and electricity production.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared slow pyrolysis and microwave pyrolyses of two different feedstock (willow chips and straw), with particular focus on physical properties of resulting chars and their relation to biochar soil function.
