International Biochar Initiative – Educational Webinar Series
Biochar Analytical Methods
The
soon to be released book “Biochar: A Guide to Analytical Methods”
provides procedures and guidelines for biochar characterization as well
as backgrounds for the various proposed analytical techniques and
procedures. Dr. Balwant Singh is one of the lead editors for this book
and will highlight some of the most useful information from this book
including the proper way to obtain biochar samples and a selection of
analytical techniques. He will address proximate & elemental
analysis, as well as testing of pH, electrical conductivity, liming
potential, and cation exchange capacity. This webinar will be of
interest to biochar producers, researchers, laboratories and more. An interactive Q&A period will follow Dr. Singh’s presentation. Questions may be submitted before or during the event.
