Pyrolysis, carbonization

Problem statement

High production of agriwastes that can become an environmental problem.


Executive summary

Biochar production and waste recycling.


Technology description

The feedstock is subjected to low-temperature pyrolysis (combustion without oxygen, 450-600 degrees C), as a result of which charcoal/biocharis formed
