abstract: A point-and-click 'Shiny' interface to the 'biocharkit' package. Lets a
  user upload Excel workbooks of biochar characterisation and batch adsorption data,
  map spreadsheet columns to the required variables via dropdown menus, and run sample-ID
  parsing, adsorption capacity and removal efficiency calculations, isotherm fitting
  (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Sips), kinetics fitting (pseudo-first/
  second-order, Elovich, intraparticle diffusion), van't Hoff thermodynamics, batch
  fitting across many samples at once, FTIR baseline correction, automatic peak picking
  and functional-group analysis, XRD peak deconvolution and crystallinity index, BET
  surface area, TGA analysis (DTG curve with auto-detected decomposition peaks, moisture/volatile-matter/ash/fixed-carbon
  straight off a curve for a single sample or in batch across many, and Kissinger
  non-isothermal kinetics from multi-heating-rate data), proximate/ultimate analysis,
  and correlation matrices, without writing any R code. Results and 600 dpi TIFF figures
  can be downloaded directly from the browser, along with a combined analysis report.
