  Today, one of the biggest issues facing climate change is carbon emissions from biomass burning. However, if biomass can be converted into biochar through the pyrolysis process and stored in the ground, it will reduce carbon emissions from the atmosphere and allow carbon to be sequestered from the environment. It could be a sustainable solution to global challenges such as climate change, waste management, and soil improvement. This experiment was conducted for the preparation of biochar from different waste biomass, i.e., cow dung, poultry manure, municipal sewage sludge, and waste wood pieces, which were pyrolyzed in a slow pyrolysis reactor. The waste material was collected, then sun- and oven-dried before being placed in the reactor using an aluminum box. Afterwards, different biomass samples were subjected to slow pyrolysis at 600°C for one hour under lim.. View more»
