Hydrochars from compost derived from municipal solid waste: Production process optimization and catalytic applications

Fernanda F. Roman et al.

Summary: Catalytic hydrochars were produced by hydrothermal carbonization of compost derived from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The most significant variable influencing the process was found to be the load of compost, and the Fenton reaction was proposed as an effective treatment of the liquid fraction generated from HTC of compost. Hydrochars produced exhibit high catalytic activity in the decomposition of H2O2, with 100% of H2O2 degradation achieved after 6 hours of reaction.
