biocharkit: Biochar Characterisation and Adsorption Data Analysis
A toolkit for analysing biochar characterisation and batch
adsorption experiments. Provides functions to parse structured sample
identifiers encoding pyrolysis conditions, read raw FTIR and XRD
instrument output, compute adsorption capacity and removal efficiency,
fit adsorption isotherms following Langmuir (1918)
<doi:10.1021/ja02242a004> and Sips (1948) <doi:10.1063/1.1746922>
among other models, fit adsorption kinetics following Ho and McKay
(1999) <doi:10.1016/S0032-9592(98)00112-5> and Chien and Clayton
(1980) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1980.03615995004400020013x> among other
models, fit batches of samples at once, compute van't Hoff
thermodynamic parameters, baseline-correct and pick peaks in FTIR
spectra, deconvolve XRD patterns into a crystallinity index, compute
BET surface area following Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (1938)
<doi:10.1021/ja01269a023>, compute proximate and ultimate analysis
summaries including directly from a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
curve, compute a smoothed derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curve
and pick its decomposition peaks, fit non-isothermal decomposition
kinetics from multi-heating-rate TGA data following Kissinger (1957)
<doi:10.1021/ac60131a045>, build correlation matrices with p-values,
and produce publication-style base-graphics figures including 600
dpi TIFF export. Built on base R ('stats', 'graphics', 'grDevices') so it has
no dependency on packages that require external CRAN network access
to install.
