Effect of feedstock and microwave pyrolysis temperature on physio-chemical and nano-scale mechanical properties of biochar

Abstract Biochars were produced from softwood chips (spruce–fir mix) and hemp stalk biomasses in an in-house-developed microwave pyrolysis reactor. A kilogram batch raw biomass mixed with 10 wt% microwave absorber was pyrolyzed at 60-min residence time. Microwave power levels were set at 2100, 2400,...
