Author Description

Char-based Composites: Production, Characterization, Limitations and Emerging Applications provides the reader with a wide spectrum of information on char and biochar-based composites. Emphasis is placed on their production, characterization, applications, and limitations towards commercialization. The book's chapters concentrate on char/biochar as nanofillers in composite materials which are currently used in various advanced technologies including nanotechnology, environmental sectors (gas cleaning and wastewater treatments), energy storage, and solid fuel and catalysts. This book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, as well as biotechnologists working in the development of advanced char and biochar-based composite materials. Covers materials selection, design solutions, manufacturing techniques, structural analysis, and performance of char and biochar-based composites Discusses various applications, including wastewater treatment, gas cleaning, energy storage, solid fuel, catalysts, and other advanced technologies Includes new materials reinforced by char in structural and automotive applications Covers toxicity and the circular economy regarding biochar production and utilization
