While durian offers a delicious treat, it also generates a significant amount of solid waste. The durian shell accounts for approximately 65% to 70% of the durian's total weight. Global annual durian production exceeds 5 million tons, with a considerable portion of the shells being discarded or incinerated. This not only wastes resources but also places a heavy burden on the environment. Through pyrolysis carbonization technology, durian shells can be transformed into high-value-added biochar materials. Durian shell biochar shows broad application prospects in wastewater treatment, energy storage, and soil remediation.
Durian shells are suitable for biochar production, which is closely related to their unique chemical composition and microstructure. Durian shells are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These components gradually decompose and rearrange during high-temperature pyrolysis, forming carbon materials with a rich porous structure. The durian shell itself has a naturally porous structure, which provides a good structural basis for the further development of pores during subsequent pyrolysis.
Furthermore, durian shells, as an agricultural and forestry waste, are widely available and inexpensive. They meet the basic requirements for biochar production: a wide range of raw materials, low cost, and simple preparation. Biomass carbonization plant can convert durian shells into biochar. This solves both the waste disposal problem and achieves high-value utilization of resources.
How to Make Durian Shell Biochar?
The core of durian shell biochar production lies in the pyrolysis carbonization process. Biomass carbonization equipment converts waste durian shells into biochar, syngas, and bio-oil through high-temperature pyrolysis in an oxygen-free atmosphere.
