Abstract
This review examines approaches to producing biochar from microalgae biomass using pyrolysis, torrefaction, and hydrothermal treatment. Data on the textural characteristics of biochar obtained by different methods are presented, and the features of their production are also considered. It was revealed that the content of one or another component in the biomass, depending on the type of microalgae used, the conditions of its cultivation and the conditions of thermal treatment of the biomass (temperature, heating rate and duration) affects the textural characteristics of the resulting biochar.
