| dc.description.abstract | Due to rapid industrialization and human activities soil losing fertility. To ensure food for our
populated country, we have need to increase production of food with low cost. Biochar is very
useful to improve soil fertility and production of food with low cost. The current review highlights
the method of biochar production by using Pyrolysis. Biochar is a charcoal made from biomass
waste, such as wood, jute sticks or others agricultural waste. We have used Jute sticks for biochar
production. It increases soil aeration, reduce soil acidity, soil surface area, porosity, ion exchange,
water holding capacity, pH of soil, nutrient exchange, soil fertility. As a result, production of food
will be increased with low cost by using biochar. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to determine the
crystal structure, phase composition and physical properties of material. FTIR can be used to
measure infrared adsorption and emission spectra. FESEM can be used to study the microstructure
of materials, elemental composition of materials and topological data of a material surface.
Ultimate analysis (CHNS) is a method for determining the amount of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H),
Nitrogen (N) and Sulphur (S) in a sample. The results of ultimate analysis of the formed Jute stick
briquette gave 94.2%, 5.89 %, 1.01 % an | en_US |
