A Case Study of Bio-char Production from Biomass using Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis and its Utilization

Microwave pyrolysis is a modern technology to produce a good quality biochar.  Gives best products, utilization and most important, process is environment friendly. In Microwave, radiation use for pyrolysis and process is: fast, specific heat area. But in conventional pyrolysis heat cannot be controlled for specific area. Microwave pyrolysis depends on the parameters: temperature, reaction time, feedstock type and Microwave Absorbers (MWAs). Production depends on the types of pyrolysis (slow, fast and flash). In the previous work focused on bio-oil and gases. But the biochar is storing source of energy and utilization. This review paper provides information about biochar obtained from microwave-assisted pyrolysis in all aspects and its utilization. It is concluded that microwave-assisted technology is an efficient technique to decrease the reaction time and increases the quality of products. In calculation, this method can overcome the requirements of feedstock destroying and improves the quality of heating.
