Retort-heating carbonisation of almond (Terminalia catappa) leaves and LDPE waste for biochar production: evaluation of product quality

The aim of this study was to utilise a top-lit updraft biomass conversion reactor with retort heating for the production of biochar from dry almond (Terminalia catappa) leaves and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) waste (biomass-plastic mass ratio of 35:1). The feedstock was chosen to serve as a typol...
