Abstract

Pyrolysis is a technology to convert biomass into high-value product such as biochar. Biochar is a bio-based material as well as char that can maintain soil, water and air quality. Biochar can produced by all of plant parts and generated directly from pyrolysis for a few hours in a certain temperature. The quality of biochar production is highly dependent on the pyrolysis temperature, heating rate, particle size, type, and composition of feedstock and reactor conditions. Several study inform that biochar produced by high temperature such as furnace. Application of biochar in soil can solve contaminated soil from pollutants such as toxic metals contamination, low pH issues and degradable soil caused by industrial activities. Therefore, the application of biochar in water ecosystem can solve some problems such as reduce toxic metals content in wastewater. Biochar known can give significant impact to reduce global warming through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the sequestering of atmospheric carbon into soil. This condition is a problem for several areas especially rural area in developing countries. This paper will describe clearly how to produce biochar use simple technology. Thus, this paper will provide useful information for reducing environmental problems especially on rural areas.

Highlights

  • Environmental damage is a global issue since recent decades made industrial activity being grow up and generate more waste

  • Population growth was lead to the increase of food needs that will give an impact for environment caused by waste such as coconut and waste palm mill (Naswir et al, 2019)

  • Production of coconut shell has been growing steadily in recent decades (Global Cement Magazine, 2012), coconut shell waste will give impact for environmental such as bad smell, air pollution and if this waste burned will give an impact for ozone especially on developing countries

Summary

Introduction

Environmental damage is a global issue since recent decades made industrial activity being grow up and generate more waste These was made problems such as water pollution by the existence of plastic industry which caused macro- and microplastic in marine environment (Wibowo, et al, 2019). Production of coconut shell has been growing steadily in recent decades (Global Cement Magazine, 2012), coconut shell waste will give impact for environmental such as bad smell, air pollution and if this waste burned will give an impact for ozone especially on developing countries. This condition will give negative impacts for human activity. This technology is acceptable for everyone as a green leap towards achieving energy and environmental sustainability
