Leaching of inorganic and organic matter from biomass and biochars under various conditions: equilibrium, kinetics and implications

This thesis investigates into the leaching phenomena in various biomass thermochemical processes. For biomass water leaching, the leachate is acidic and can interact with biomass. A method has therefore been devised for quantifying water-soluble inorganic species in biomass. For biochar leaching, pa...
