Characterization of Biochar Produced from IRAQI Palm Fronds by Thermal Pyrolysis

Abstract The present paper focuses in a particular on the study of the biochar production conditions by the thermal pyrolysis of biomass from local Iraqi palm fronds, in the absence of oxygen. The biochar product can be used as soil improvers. The effect of temperature on the extent of the therm...
