The effect of oil palm empty fruit bunch biochar on arsenic availability by incubation studies / Nurul Asyinah Roslee
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material derived from the agriculture pyrolysis process and forest residual biomass. Due to the high production of empty fruit bunch (EFB) from oil palm mill, this waste was used as a biochar feedstock. Empty Fruit Bunch biochar was taken from UPM Serdang and the soil...
