A review on hydrothermal carbonization of potential biomass wastes, characterization and environmental applications of hydrochar, and biorefinery perspectives of the process

Matheus Cavali et al.

Summary: This article reviews the potential of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) as a route for waste biomass valorization, emphasizing the characterization and environmental utilization of hydrochar and its biorefinery potential. HTC and co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) can be applied to crop and forestry residues and sewage sludge, providing high hydrochar yields under specific process conditions. The physicochemical properties of hydrochar, determined by different techniques, are crucial in defining its best applications, including pollutant removal, soil improvement, atmospheric pollutant adsorption, energy carrier, and carbon sequestration.

Influence of lipid extraction and processing conditions on hydrothermal conversion of microalgae feedstocks - Effect on hydrochar composition, secondary char formation and phytotoxicity

Veronica Benavente et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of lipid extraction on microalgae feedstocks subjected to hydrothermal carbonization. It found that unextracted microalgae had higher carbonization degree and secondary char content, while extracted microalgae had lower solid yield due to more decomposition products remaining in the liquid phase. Despite potentially toxic substances, extracted hydrochars showed lower phytotoxic potential, suggesting different applications for extractive-rich hydrochars and low-temperature hydrochars.
