TL;DR: In this article, a review of microwave-assisted pyrolysis of biomass and its biochar characteristics, including product distribution and biochar yield, biochar properties, microwave absorbers (MWAs) and catalysts commonly used in MWP, as well as comparison of biochar derived from MWP and conventional pyrolynsis (CP).

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of modern analytical techniques, which are applicable and crucial for biochar characterization, have been reviewed in the present work, such as solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrograms, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopes, X-rays photoelectron spectrographs, Xrays diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectrogram, and gas chromatography-mass spectroscope.

TL;DR: The results showed that some fruit residues containing high contents of lipids and carbohydrates, such as loquat peels and rambutan seeds, were well fit for anaerobic digestion, and residues with high lignin content were strongly recommended not to be used as a single substrate for methane production.

TL;DR: Copretreatment of thermal potassium hydroxide and steam explosion treated CS was highly significant among all treatments and improved 88.46% (292.9 mL/gvs) methane yield compared with untreated CS, and CPTPS also achieved the highest biodegradability up to 68.90%.

TL;DR: In this article, nano-CaCO 3 particles with tunable size have been synthesized via CO 2 /Ca(OH) 2 precipitation reaction in a microporous tube-in-tube microchannel reactor (MTMCR) with a throughput capacity up to 400 L/h for CO 2 and 76.14 L/H for liquid.
