Biochar formulation using alkaline pre-treated oil palm trunks and oil palm frond

Biochar is charcoal made from plant material and agricultural biomass. The biochar is produced by slow thermo-chemical pyrolysis of biomass materials and has been proven of its benefits in soi l enrichment and as a combined material for industrial heat ing fuel. In the present research, biochar form...
