These conversion routes depend on the nature of the biomass and the applied operating conditions, such as temperature, heating rate, process atmosphere, and residence time.

This scenario reinforces the need to rigorously evaluate the technical potential of each agro-industrial biomass, considering its composition, thermal behavior, and suitability for different valorization routes. Only through a comprehensive evaluation is it possible to select the most appropriate technology and design functional carbonaceous materials that respond to real environmental, agronomic, and industrial requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9ad2c0 wcf-starter-animations-none wcf-t-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9ad2c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;,&quot;wcf_text_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf-animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Evaluating the technical potential of agro-industrial biomass requires an integrated approach that combines physicochemical characterization, thermal analysis, environmental safety criteria, and techno-economic feasibility to select technically and economically viable valorization routes. This evaluation begins with compositional and elemental characterization\u2014including moisture, volatiles, ash, fixed carbon, lignocellulosic fractions (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), CHNS-O analysis, and calorific value\u2014as a basis for determining suitability for thermochemical processes. Subsequently, proximate, ultimate, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA\/DTG), along with the determination of HHV and LHV, allows for an understanding of thermal behavior, stability, and expected yield under different pyrolysis and activation conditions. A critical aspect corresponds to the ash and metal content, particularly alkaline elements and potentially regulated traces, which condition the safe use of the material in agronomic, environmental, and industrial applications. On this basis, biomass is specifically evaluated for its conversion into biochar or activated carbon, considering C\/H\/O ratios, lignocellulosic structure, porosity development potential, and response to physical or chemical activations, avoiding decisions based solely on residue availability. Finally, the selection of the optimal route is consolidated through techno-economic criteria\u2014availability, logistics, conditioning costs, scalability, and target market\u2014integrated into multi-criteria decision frameworks that articulate experimental data, modeling, and operational criteria. This approach allows for connecting materials science with real production decisions, ensuring that each agro-industrial biomass is valorized in a technical, safe manner aligned with the needs of the productive sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agro-industrial biomass constitutes a widely available, low-disposal-cost renewable resource with high carbon content, making it a strategic raw material for energy generation, functional materials, and environmental solutions.
