Characterization of biochar produced from shell of Theobroma grandiflorum
Biochar can be defined as vegetable biomass, which has undergone pyrolysis in a low oxygen environment. It can contribute to chemical, physical and biological improvements in the soil. Different biomasses can be used in the production of biochar. However, characterization studies are needed before its recommendation. The aim of this work was to test the temperatures: 300, 400 and 500 °C in Theobroma grandiflorum for biochar production and to characterize the samples, submitted to different temperatures, to verify which temperature presents the best chemical and physical properties.
