Abstract
Paddy leaves is good biomass that can be converted as renewable energy sources especially in Northern Malaysia. Dry paddy leaves can be burned into char which contains a high amount of carbon that useful in the production of charcoal. This paper reports the effect of the combustion temperature of paddy leaves in Northern Malaysia during the combustion process by using a universal oven on its thermal stability. The char was subjected to Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis in the investigation of its thermal stability at the range of combustion temperature 220-260°C for 4 hours. The average moisture content of paddy leaves before combustion was 9.23%. The investigation showed that 260°C was the best combustion temperature that can be used in the production of paddy leaves char.
