    KARAKTERISTIK BIOCHAR PELEPAH KELAPA SAWIT PRODUK PIROLISIS PADA SUHU BERVARIASI
    (Elfitra, 2023-12) Ulfa, Amelia; Muhdarina
    The potential utilization of oil palm fronds as a raw material for biochar production is attributed to their composition of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. This research is investigated the impact of pyrolysis temperature on the characteristics of the resulting biochar, adhering to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 06-3730-1995, encompassing parameters such as moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, and fixed carbon. Oil palm fronds were subjected to pyrolysis at varying temperatures of 500°C, 600°C, and 700°C for 60 minutes in a nitrogen gas stream. The research results was demonstrated that the pyrolysis temperature of oil palm fronds significantly influences the characteristics of moisture content, ash content, volatile matter and fixed carbon. The values were obtained exhibit an increasing trend with the elevation of temperature. The most optimal biochar identified in this study is designated as BPS500, featuring a moisture content of 0.76%, ash content of 6.85%, volatile matter content of 9.66%, and fixed carbon content of 82.71%, respectively. All these values align with the specifications outlined in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 06-3730-1995.
