Abstract

This paper reports the biochar quantity and quality using rice husk as a raw material produced using the Charcoal Processing System with Internal Combustion Furnace (CPSICF), which was first used to produce rice husk biochar. The gate width in the CPSICF influenced air intake, which directly affected the temperature of the furnace and played a key role during the pyrolysis process. The biochar productive yield was 33.8%-36.5%. The pH and bulk density of the biochar ranged from 4.9 to 9.8 and 0.10 to 0.11g/cm3, respectively. These results are similar to those for other charcoal processing systems.
