Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research in chars is growing exponentially due to the large number of applications, including soil and water applications, fuel, horticultural growing media, building material, and use as a catalyst. Chars are usually obtained from pyrolysis (pyrochar or biochar) or hydrothermal carbonization (hydrochar). Their properties can be modified during or post-pyrolysis in order to engineer it for the applications mentioned before. This Special Issue welcomes submissions on environmental applications for pyrochars and hydrochars.
