IN NATURA AND CARBONIZED COCONUT FIBER CHARACTERIZATION FROM PYROLYSIS PROCESS

This work aims to verify the possibility of valuing coconut husk fiber through pyrolysis for production carbonized, and evaluate influence conditions in its potential use as a soil conditioner. Biomass were pyrolyzed used peak temperatures 350, 450 550 °C, with immersion time 30 minutes. The characterization included analyses bulk density, proximate analyses, X-RF, total carbon, pH, electrical conductivity, thermal analysis biomass cation exchange capacity carbonized. results indicate that has relevant properties thermochemical conversion temperature influenced characteristics X-RF showed carbonized presents K, Cl, Ca, Na Mg content composition. pH proved be alkaline It was possible conclude produced have viable application
