Surface morphology properties of biochars obtained from different biomass waste
In this paper, the influence of different biomass waste and its biochar properties have been studied. This study used Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Electron Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) to observe the surface morphology properties of the biochars produced from sugarcane bagasse (SB) and wheat husk (WH) at 800 degrees C. The FE-SEM images showed that sugarcane bagasse char (SBC) and wheat husk char (WHC) clearly retained the fibrous structures of the biomass waste and were rich in macropores. Mineral elements (e.g., K, Mg, Si, and P) were found in the derived biochars. The abundant pores and minerals in the biochars are helpful for ameliorating soil through the supplies of micro spaces and mineral nutrition.
