Carbon monoxide reduction in the flue gas during biochar production from oil palm empty fruit bunch
Biomass carbonization technology is implemented to produce charcoal with high-calorific content. However, this technology releases pollutant gases, which adversely affect ambient environment and human health. This study proposed a catalytic gas treatment method using platinum-supported alumina catal...

Biomass carbonization technology is implemented to produce charcoal with high-calorific content.

Carbonization released a rather high carbon monoxide concentration of 5558 ± 53 mg m−3 in the flue gas, exceeding the permissible limit of 1000 mg m−3.
