Biochar production from the pyrolysis of food waste: Characterization and implications for its use

Original language description

Food waste (FW) represents a large group of wastes that impose several issues on their management, especially in terms of microbiological and leaching pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. According to the EU circular economy vision, finding a new way for FW valorisation to obtain reusable materials or compounds represents a priority. Thermal treatment represents one of the suitable ways for FW processing, and pyrolysis in particular presents many advantages in producing solid carbonaceous biochar, reusable oil and gas. This paper analyses biochar that was produced via thermal pyrolysis of FW. The influence of an organic additive (wooden sawdust) and a catalyst (zeolite) on the pyrolytic process at 600 oC was investigated. The results highlight how the initial composition of the feedstock (FS) influenced the characteristics of the obtained biochar. The addition of organic additives and catalyst did not change significantly the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and the calorific value. For all the analysed parameters, all tested FS respected the guidelines proposed by International Biochar Initiative (IBI) and the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) for possible reuse in agriculture and urban areas. The results suggest that biochar from FW could be potentially used in agriculture and urban green infrastructure, but the authors suggest further studies, especially on the effect of high electrical conductivity due to the typical high concentration of salts in FW.
