Abstract

Abstract The transformation and use of the biomass are of fundamental energetic and ecological interest. The general objective of this review is to provide an overview of biochar (a major biomass product) as a support for nanocatalysts and other reagents, its mode of coordination and activation with nanoparticles and applications. This includes the physico-chemical characteristics of biochar, the advances in its production processes, and its activation and functionalization in order to improve its physical and chemical characteristics and applications as support in catalysis and environmental decontamination. Biochar is a by-product produced by carbonization of biomass. In this process, the products of interest are syngas and bio-oil, due to their high calorific value and their diverse applications. However, biochar has interesting characteristics. It can be used as support, allowing to disperse nanoparticles of the catalysts, such as those of the transition metals: Fe, Ag, Ni, Pd, etc., bimetallic compositions such as Ru/Re, Fe/Ni, etc. and metal oxides such as Fe3O4, CO3O4, CuO, TiO2, etc., increasing the reactivity of the system, minimizing the leaching of the catalysts and allowing their re-use. These materials can be employed in the degradation of contaminants in aqueous systems, soil and sediments, tar reforming reactions and synthesis of fine chemicals. This review will serve as the basis for new research aiming to add value to this important resource.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
