New technology for biochar production from oil palm empty fruit bunch

This paper presents a process to utilize oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) by thermochemical conversion to produce carbon-infiltrated biochar, which can be used as an efficient alternative energy source. An integrated process of pyrolysis and decomposition of pyrolysis vapor was employed by chemica...
