Cost-effective FTIR and 1H NMR spectrometry used to screen valuable molecules extracted from selected West African trees by a sustainable biochar process

This study focused on wood extractives by a slow pyrolysis thermal extraction technique and screening of potentially valuable compounds from three African trees: Lophira lanceolata Tiegh. ex Keay., Dialium guineense Willd. and Afzelia africana Sm. The primary objective of the thermal treatment was b...
