Abstract
Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the properties of hybrid biochar produced from date palm (D) and pistachio (P) residues and their co-pyrolysis at mixing ratios of 60:40 (by weight). Biochars were produced at 500 °C through pyrolysis in a tube furnace and subsequently characterized. Results indicated that pistachio biochar (PBC) had a high carbon content (81.02 wt%) and a low oxygen content (17.57 wt%). Conversely, the date palm biochar (DBC) had a high ash content (28.11 wt%) and a low carbon content (40.08 wt%). Blending D and P at the specified ratios improved the biochar samples’ gross and elemental contents. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were utilized to determine the morphology and structure of the produced biochar.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology (JWCT) is focused on the rapid publication of research advances in the chemistry of bio-based materials and products, including all aspects of wood-based polymers, chemicals, materials, and technology. JWCT provides an international forum for researchers and manufacturers working in wood-based biopolymers and chemicals, synthesis and characterization, as well as the chemistry of biomass conversion and utilization.
JWCT primarily publishes original research papers and communications, and occasionally invited review articles and special issues. Special issues must summarize and analyze state-of-the-art developments within the field of biomass chemistry, or be in tribute to the career of a distinguished researcher. If you wish to suggest a special issue for the Journal, please email the Editor-in-Chief a detailed proposal that includes the topic, a list of potential contributors, and a time-line.
