1. A method of removing ammonia from a gas, the method comprising:
- subjecting a composition comprising a stover composition to hydrothermal carbonization to form a hydrochar, the composition comprising an amount of lipids to provide a carboxyl group content in the hydrochar of not less than 0.3 millimoles (mmol) carboxyl groups per gram of hydrochar; and
contacting the gas with the hydrochar, whereby the ammonia is adsorbed onto the hydrochar.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of controlling the amount of carboxyl groups attached to a hydrochar, the methods including subjecting a composition that includes a stover composition to hydrothermal carbonization to form a hydrochar, wherein the amount of carboxyl groups attached to the hydrochar can be controlled by the amount of lipids in the composition. Methods of removing ammonia from a gas using disclosed hydrochars and the hydrochars themselves are also disclosed.
