Abstract Okra stem biochar (OSBC) and black gram straw biochar (BGSBC) were prepared by slow pyrolysis at 500 and 600 °C, respectively. OSBC and BGSBC were characterized using SBET, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, SEM–energy dispersive X-ray, and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence. High carbon contents (dry basis) of […]
