Microwave pyrolysis system used in the ZnCl2-activated biochar synthesis.

Caption

The synthesis process of ZnCl2-activated biochar comprises three stages. The first phase is biochar production using microwave-assisted pyrolysis. Then, the biomass was pyrolysed at 3 kW for 30 min. The third phase comprised the second pyrolysis (calcination process) of activated biochar at 1.5 kW for 20 min.
