Where these data come from
Manufacture of biochar obtained from the cocoa shell and banana raquis

Abstract

The disposal of organic waste from crops such as banana rake and cocoa-cob shell is not managed efficiently, and this investigation raises the possibility of using this waste as fertiliser by pyrolysis production of biochar. Reason for the objective of the investigation was to design a furnace to produce biocarbon, based on the pyrolisis process, using previously dry banana and cocoa shell rake as readily accessible and abundant raw material in the province of El Oro (Ecuador), where the work was carried out. The results indicate that the process is feasible by showing better homogenisation of the product in terms of incineration to biochar obtained from the cocoa shell.
