Alkaline solutions have been widely considered as chemical agents to chemically activate hydrochar to remove volatile matters, resulting in an increased presence of hydrophilic functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxylic groups.
“Alkaline solutions have been widely considered as chemical agents to chemically activate the produced hydrochar to remove the volatile matters resulting in the increasing of the presence of hydrophilic functional groups, such as hydroxyl and carboxylic groups.”
From Hydrochar: A Review on Its Production Technologies and Applications (2021) · cites this paper as [68]
Section 3.2.2 (page not provided) says alkaline activation is widely applied and increases hydrophilic surface groups, including hydroxyl and carboxylic groups. It does not support the stated purpose of removing volatile matter; instead, it says the treatment reduces volatile matter losses. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
