Development of a novel biochar-made porous monolith for enhanced C1 and H₂ fermentation.

ABSTRACT: Biochar is a carbonaceous porous material that is produced through the thermal processing of biomass under oxygen-limited environment. Nevertheless, biochar is known to be an inexpensive and sustainable raw material with a wide range of possible applications. Recently, biochar has been discovered as an efficient biological catalyst for anaerobic conversion, mainly due to its highly porous structure with micro and macro channels, which procures a viable living area for attached-grown microorganisms. Whereas it is never applied to improve the biological conversion of gas substances such as C1 (e.g., CO, CO₂) and H₂, which is a promising research area with increasing commercial interest. However, considering that biological reaction is limited by the target water solubil
