Abstract
From the perspective of converting waste into valuable products and reducing environmental pollution, the up-recycling of biomass waste into carbon-rich materials is attracting widespread attention. This literature review presents the possibilities of using the solid product of one-stage carbonization (char) of plant-origin waste biomass. Several applications are discussed, including the production of sorbents, energy storage materials, catalyst carriers, and agricultural applications.
