Hydrochar and its Applications

A solid fuel with high carbon content, low fibrous structure and high-energy density produced from organic materials such as agricultural waste, dung and firewood using the HydroThermal Carbonization (HTC) is known as hydrochar. 
The applications of hydrochar include; as a carbon material, an amendment of soil, a solid fuel, which is comparable to brown coal for production of energy, a substitute for activated carbon or carbon black, a carbon catalyst used for production of fine chemicals, a material to increase the efficiency of fuel cells and as an absorbent to increase fertility and productivity of soil (Berge et al., 2013; Du et al., 2012; Funke and Ziegler, 2010; Kang, et al., 2012; Kleinert and Wittmann, 2009; Libra et al., 2011; Parshetti et al., 2013; Rillig et al., 2010).
