Elevating Biochar: From Advanced Characterization to Real-World Impact
Biochars excel at capturing dissolved inorganic and organic species, as well as gases and vapors. In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate how to measure the surface area and pore structure of carbonaceous adsorbents—essential metrics for evaluating and comparing their performance.
You’ll learn how to set up and operate adsorption instrumentation, tackle sample preparation challenges unique to biochars, and apply key analysis models (BET, BJH, DFT, and others). We’ll also highlight common pitfalls and share best practices to ensure accurate, reproducible data. Whether you’re new to these techniques or looking to validate your existing methods, this session will equip you with the know how to advance your research.
Key Learning Objectives:
- How micropores vs mesopores impact contaminant adsorption
- How to compare different source biomasses before lengthy field tests
- How to add value by targeting optimal physico-chemical properties
Who Should Attend:
- Analytical Chemists
- R&D Scientists
- Laboratory Managers
- Method Validation Specialists
Presenter: Dr. Martin Thomas (Global Lead Scientist, Anton Paar)
