Ontario Events
- Biochar Workshop:
Understanding Adsorption in
Carbonaceous Materials with Implications for
Biochar
Where: Queens University
Biosciences Complex, Rm. 1120
116 Barrie Street, Kingston,
ON
When: February 16
2010
Who: Hugh McLaughlin, Director
Biocarbon Research, Alterna Biocarbons
- The seminar will cover
Characteristics of adsorption in activated carbon and
biochars, Deciphering Biochar structure and a Demonstration
of several simple biochar bench-top generation
techniques.
- The seminar is intended for scientists and engineers who
work with carbonaceous adsorbents their application to
soils and requires a basic understanding of chemical bonds
and molecular structures, but not an advanced training in
chemistry.
- The cost to attend is $50 ($25 for students). The
deadline for registration and cancellation is Monday 15
February 2010 by 5pm.
- To register, please go here

- There will also be a free public lecture by Dr.
McLaughlin entitled "Biochars - what we know, what we think
we know and what we do not know", on February 18th, 9:00 am
at the Wilton Women's Institute Hall, Wilton Ontario,
followed by a tour of Burt's Greenhouses heating system and
char making process in Odessa.
