THE FABRICATION OF BIOMASS CHARCOAL BY 100-LITTER CHARCOAL OVEN FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

Abstract

Abstract Which the oven had the average temperature for 435.2 oC. In baking each type of wood would take the difference time due to the density of wood had difference with biomass charcoal was analyzed the pores, morphologies and dye absorption properties by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV/VIS spectrophotometer respectively. All charcoal had adsorption rate to difference because the density and pores of charcoal. In experiment founded that takian charcoal could be the bast absorbing with it had the average absorption value for 0.28 nanometer due to it was hardwood and high density. Moreover, It had the large number of microporous morphologies vice versa, biomass charcoal for the least absorption that was stump charcoal for 0.05 nanometer because it was low density wood and it had the least pores among all charcoal. In part of rubber charcoal, neem charcoal and bamboo charcoal had the similar adsorption rates about 0.12 - 0.15 nanometer due to it had the similar morphologies and pores.   Keywords; Biomass charcoal, Porosity, Absorption
