Question

Azlina wanted to maximize the bio-char yield in her experiment so that she can utilize the biochar in the subsequent pot trials to improve the crop yield. She decided to run a torrefaction reaction on biomass at a moderate temperature of 240 oC whereby the biochar yield was 20 wt%. Later on, she found out that biochar can be produced by pyrolysis with a higher yield of 40 wt% but operating at a higher temperature of 500 oC. The amount of biochar yield almost doubled from her yield from the torrefaction process. Explain whether any error involved in her experiment, then describe the error involved and suggest the method to improve the biochar yield.
