Influence of the Calcination Temperature on the Thermal Characteristics of Peat-Based Biochar

摘要

The influence of pyrolysis on biochar produced by the hydrothermal carbonization of peat is studied. The following characteristics of the pyrolytic product obtained from biochar are compared with those of semicoke used in the metallurgical industry: the ash content, the yield of volatiles, and the calorific value. Synthetic semicoke produced by calcination of biochar above 600 degrees C for 1 h meets the requirements of the metallurgical industry.
