Optimization of Slow Pyrolysis of Bamboo for Biochar Production using Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal Array

Optimization of Slow Pyrolysis of Bamboo for Biochar Production using Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal Array

This paper investigates the effects of three parameters (reaction temperature, feedstock particle size and nitrogen flow rate) towards the solid (char) yield from the pyrolysis of bamboo. Three-factor, three-level Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal Array was used as the experimental design. The char yield at r...
