#biochar may remove pollutants, accelerate chemical reactions, and store energy. Roberto Volpe and his team at Queen Mary University of London and UCL , UK, are utilising Diamond Light Source to further analyse one type. Read more at: bit.ly/3IZJsnr

Delighted to see this exciting work shaping up in @QMULSEMS with @DiamondLightSou and huge thanks to @RhodJerv @LuisSal21139441 for the great collaboration. #biochar #biomass #microCT
Researchers from @QMUL and @ucl, in collaboration with @DiamondLightSou, the UK's national synchrotron, have imaged the porosity of biochars for the first time #biomass #bioenergy bioenergy-news.com/news/qmul…

Our new paper with @CarmineDAgosti6 of @ChemEngManUni in Applied Surface Science shows that alkaline pretreatment of walnut shells changes how surface chemistry and texture of derived #biochar evolves during #pyrolysis: doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.202… @TCRxLab @QMULSEMS @QMULSciEng

To study how surface area accessibility changed as nut shells became #biochar, we visualised how pore volume was distributed within particles using #microCT. Check out my #opensource @MATLAB #ImageAnalysis code: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.35680… #WomenWhoCode #OpenScience 3/6

Check out our new paper, which I really should have called "X-Rays in a Nut Shell" wherein we shone #synchrotron #Xrays through nut shell particles during #biochar production to study how they shrink and become more porous using a reactor I developed! nature.com/articles/s41598-0… 1/6
