Biochar Production Process Optimisation and Product Characterisation Dataset

In the proposed research, eucalyptus, macadamia and municipal green waste will be utilized to produce biochar for animal feed additives and compost/soil application. During the manufacturing process, biochar will be produced through variation in temperature, duration of pyrolysis, feedstocks and different options for fluid bed materials and the process is optimised for the production of biochar for its intended use. After the optimization of production process, there will be mass production in biochar in the fluid bed continuous fed pyrolysis reactor located at Mara Seeds, New South Wales. The biochar analysis and characterization of the products will be performed in the Mara Seeds Lab in Mallanganee, CQU laboratory in Rockhampton and UNSW Material chemistry laboratory in Sydney.本研究将以桉树（eucalyptus）、澳洲坚果（macadamia）及城市园林绿化废弃物为原料制备生物炭（biochar），用于动物饲料添加剂与堆肥/土壤施用。在制备过程中，通过调控热解温度、热解时长、原料种类以及流化床介质材料的不同选型开展生物炭制备，并针对其目标用途优化制备工艺。工艺优化完成后，将在位于澳大利亚新南威尔士州（New South Wales）的Mara Seeds基地的连续进料流化床热解反应器中开展生物炭规模化生产。生物炭的分析与产物表征工作，将分别在马兰加尼（Mallanganee）的Mara Seeds实验室、罗克汉普顿（Rockhampton）的中央昆士兰大学（Central Queensland University, CQU）实验室以及悉尼的新南威尔士大学（University of New South Wales, UNSW）材料化学实验室完成。
