Conclusion
This study investigated the physical and
chemical parameters of biochar produced from
JSH, JPC and SBD within the range of reactor
temperature from 300 to 900 C and N-ration of
100 to 200 cm min-1.
Biochar could be obtained from biomass
pyrolyse
process.
Higher
the
reactor
temperature shorter was the time for biochar
production. If the objective was to maximize the
yield, low reactor temperatures would be chosen.
When the pyrolyse temperature increased the
biochar yield decreased. Organic biochar
production was higher for JSH and JPC than
SBD for the same reactor temperature.
Biochar products are generally considered to
be porous materials that can improve soil
physical properties such as soil texture and
holding capacity. Results of SEM images
indicate the formation of pores with various sizes,
where JSH has more uniform pores than other
substrates.
