AbstractBiochar is a solid material that contains lot of carbon and created by heating biomass in an environment where there little or no oxygen. It has become clear biochar holds great promise for combating climate change, enhancing soil fertility, eliminating pollutants, promoting effective waste disposal. In particular, sawdust produced via thermochemical processes drawn attention because its affordability abundant availability. This review paper presents general summary the production processes, including pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, torrefaction, gasification. was observed specific yields performance these methods vary depending on feedstock source, process parameters, equipment used. Additionally, properties biochar, such as content, surface area, stability, also method. The effects operating factors sawdust-biochar temperature, rate, residence duration, are covered study. While challenges exist, ongoing research aims to improve applications, making it valuable tool climate-smart agriculture sustainable land management.Keywords: Biocharsawdustthermochemical processespyrolysiswaste management Disclosure statementNo potential conflict interest reported author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work received external funding.

Abstract Tobacco waste presents notable environmental challenges, such as soil and water contamination from nicotine other harmful chemicals, compounded by inefficiencies in conventional management. Converting tobacco into biochar offers a promising solution to address these issues. This study reviews the production, properties, applications of derived tobacco, using feedstocks stems, seeds, leaves, fines. It has been observed that stems are most commonly used precursor pyrolysis is frequently employed thermochemical conversion process, with yields ranging 5% 85%, depending on operational variables. Tobacco‐derived exhibits surface areas typically between 2 50 m /g, fixed carbon content 4 63 wt%, ash 12% 51%. applied agriculture, treatment, composting, energy demonstrating its efficiency. also plays an important role pollution remediation. Despite existing research tobacco‐based biochar, gaps remain gasification torrefaction biomass use tobacco‐related wastes like leftover cigarettes The findings this depict dual benefits utilizing for production – addressing disposal challenges while creating valuable material multiple economic advantages.

This study sheds light on the synthesis, properties, and application of plant husk-derived biomass into biochar through thermochemical conversion processes. Gasification, pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, torrefaction are processes that have been used in this regard. Investigation production variables revealed temperature, carbonization duration, heating rate significantly influence yield characteristics husk-based biochar, including surface area porosity, with temperature exerting most notable impact. It was observed gave rise to a relatively higher than other processes, which may be due low temperatures usually utilized. The properties typically exhibit carbon content exceeding 45% its total weight. has applied as catalyst, for soil amendment, environmental remediation, water treatment. identification research gaps shows need further exploration intricacies well consequences socio-environmental factors, technical scalability, economic feasibility.
