Abstract The hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process for converting yard waste (YW) into hydrochar
(H) was systematically investigated, utilizing distilled water (DW) and leachate (L)
as an alternate reaction media at elevated temperatures (180°C/210°C/... Practical Applications This research introduces a novel and environmentally conscious method for converting
yard waste into hydrochar by using landfill leachate, a waste liquid generated from
landfills as a replacement for distilled water in the ...
