Tuning the adsorptive properties of drinking water treatment residue via oxygen-limited heat treatment for environmental recycle
TL;DR: In this paper, an oxygen-limited heat treatment was applied to DWTR, attempting to tune the properties of DWTR for better recycling, and the results showed that after the treatment, N 2 sorption capacity was enhanced significantly: the specific surface area (SSA) and total pore volume (TPV) increased from 72.5 to 69.7.

Dynamic molecular structure of plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar)
TL;DR: A molecular-level assessment of the physical organization and chemical complexity of biomass-derived chars and, specifically, that of aromatic carbon in char structures suggests the existence of four distinct categories of char consisting of a unique mixture of chemical phases and physical states.
