Chemical structure information of the extracted samples was obtained with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Crystalline phases of biomass...

... study investigates the co-pyrolysis of chicken manure and rice husk. The experiments were conducted in a non-isothermal gravimetrical analyzer using nitrogen at a flowrate of 100 ml/min at three different heating rates (5, 10, and 15 °C/min). The degradation of individual biomass and biomass blends...

...Osama M. Selim; Ryoichi S. Amano Conventional pyrolysis is a relatively simple way for biochar production; however, a single biomass feedstock approach is not promising for the development of multiple properties of biochar used in various applications. This study provides a detailed comparison...
