Abstract This study is a review of published literature that discusses the utilization biochar (BC) and plastics as filler matrix, respectively, in composite material. These composites, referred to Biochar-filled plastic composites (BFPCs), play significant role production environmentally friendly materials. paper provides an overview BFPCs, their properties (mechanical, rheological, morphological, electrical, thermal properties), fabrication techniques, prospects challenges associated with development. Even though there have been previous studies on none these discussed drawbacks potential development BFPCs. BCs’ small weight makes them more appealing option than traditional mineral fillers when it comes reducing vehicle weight. Due superior mechanical qualities, well low carbon footprint, BC-filled (BFPCs) It was observed either melt extrusion or injection molding are usually used fabricate BFPC. BFPCs influenced by several factors such type concentration plastic, method fabrication, BC content, mixing uniformity mixture, wetting, particle dispersion. Challenges were also discussed, issue agglomeration poor interfacial bonding at high concentrations composite. Composites made from recycled polymers biodegradable can be developed improve composites’ overall sustainability.

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.

Abstract African balsam ( Daniella oliveri ) leaves and cow dung are waste materials that commonly accessible in Africa can be used to produce biochar by simultaneous thermochemical processing. In this study, was produced a retort‐heated, non‐electrically powered, top‐lit updraft reactor using the biomass fuel‐powered conversion of dried at an average temperature 320 °C. The characterized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analyses. After carbonization for 100 min, obtained from processed mixed leaves/cow with yield 70%. showed presence alkene, hydroxyl, alkyne, alkane, sulfur‐containing functional groups. Scanning micrographs biochar's surface made up fibrillated particles very few pores. observed have area 328.199 m 2 /g higher pore volume lower size than alone. Energy is mostly carbon (67%), introduction into feedstock increased its carbon, silicon, potassium, bromine content. Differential analyses revealed thermally stable. findings study helpful attempts manage solid wastes (African dung), reduce environmental pollution, whose properties adequate it as soil additive. © 2022 Society Chemical Industry John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Soot is an aerosol formed by incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials, and its formation in biomass gasification inevitable. It crucial to know the properties soot produced exhaust reactors order appreciate both advantages disadvantages. In this study, a variety analytical techniques were used examine content morphology top-lit updraft gasifier. The results experiment revealed that carbon oxygen make up majority soot, with minor amounts other components. Both aromatic aliphatic groups significant concentrations can be seen based on distribution functional groups. uneven, stratified, amorphous sample. Meanwhile, sample had surface area 193.8 m2/g pore diameter 2.68 nm. These porous qualities point potential use as adsorbent water filtration after activation.

Because of its superior mechanical qualities, chemical resistance, and adherence to a variety substrates, epoxy resin is the most often utilized plastic matrix in composite development. However, recent years, solvated polystyrene, also called polystyrene-based (PBR), has been used make resin. PBR simple make, inexpensive, can be cured without use heat. This review evaluates benefits, possibilities as development alternative created manually using mixing laying-up techniques, it fully dried at room temperature for three ten days need curing agent or hardener. reinforced with fillers create different composites competing properties depending on filler types quantities. Future perspectives recommendations were outlined, including projective aspect PBR-based future work.
