Elevating Biochar: From Advanced Characterization to Real-World Impact

DATE

September 10, 2025

TIME

10:00 a.m. PDT, 1:00 p.m. EDT, 18:00 BST, 19:00 CEST

Overview

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

Brought to you by:

Speakers

Dr. Martin Thomas
