High yield and quality charcoal from oil palm kernel shell with an improved pilot-scale continuous carbonisation system

The present study compared the production, quality, and yield of charcoal manufactured from oil palm kernel shell (OPKS) via an improved pilot-scale continuous carbonisation system, the pilot rotary kiln (PRK), with a batch conventional carbonisation approach, the Taki carbonisation system (TCS). Pr...
