Abstract
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.
