Hydrothermal Carbonization of Biomass for Energy and Crop Production
Abstract
Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a thermochemical pretreatment process where biomass is treated under hot compressed water to produce hydrochar. Hydrochar is a stable, hydrophobic, friable solid product, which has a fuel value similar to that of lignite coal. Among its other advantages, its capability to handle wet feed makes the HTC process most attractive. The complex reaction chemistry of HTC offers a huge potential for producing a variety of products, from fuel to supercapacitors, from carbon nanospheres to low cost adsorbents, from fertilizers to soil amenders. Hydrochar opens possibilities for replacing coal in existing coal-power plants. Its high surface area and adsorption characteristics make it compatible for use in supercapacitors. Hydrochar also contains high amounts of stable carbon and other nutrients, which are essential for soil amendment. Moreover, the HTC process liquid, especially if a short retention time is used, contains potentially toxic substances like phenols, furfurals, and their derivatives, which open opportunities for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. This review paper gives an overview of the HTC process parameters, reactions, and the use of hydrochar for energy and crop production

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.
