Leaching Characteristics of Organic and Inorganic Matter from Biomass by Water: Differences between Batch and Semi-continuous Operations

Over 30% and ~2% (on a carbon basis) organic matter can be leached from mallee leaf and wood by water, respectively, producing acidic leachates containing organic acids. As a result, there are significant differences in the leaching characteristics of both organic and inorganic species in biomass be...
