Description: 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, 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.
