The char produced from pyrolysis (biochar) can be used as a soil amendment, fuel, or chemical feedstock. It can also be utilized for water purification, air filtration, and food and beverage processing.
Adsorbent
The high specific surface area of biochar makes it suitable as an adsorbent for applications such as waste gas treatment and wastewater treatment.
Catalyst Support
Biochar can serve as a catalyst support in chemical reaction processes.
Carbon Electrode Material
Biochar can be used to prepare activated carbon electrodes for electrochemical applications.
Syngas produced from pyrolysis (primarily composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) can be used as fuel, for power generation, or as chemical building blocks for other processes.
Methanol Synthesis
Syngas is converted to methanol over a catalyst.
Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
Syngas is converted into liquid fuels and chemicals
Ammonia Synthesis
Hydrogen from syngas is used for ammonia production.
Wood vinegar is a by-product that can be used as a natural pesticide and plant growth promoter. Additionally, wood vinegar can be used as a deodorizer, animal feed additive, organic fertilizer fermentation agent, preservative, and more.
Acetic Acid Extraction
Wood vinegar is rich in acetic acid, which can be extracted for industrial production.
Phenolic Compound Extraction
Wood vinegar contains phenolic compounds that can serve as chemical raw materials.
Smoke Flavoring Preparation
Wood vinegar can be used to prepare smoke flavorings for food processing.
