Fast Pyrolysis Derived Biochar from Eichhornia crassipes Biomass of Lake Victoria, Kenya: Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterization

Victor O. Genga, Njagi B. Njomo, Patrick Kimutai Tum, Damaris N. Mbui & Obed M. Nyabaro · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

This study characterised biochar prepared from dried biomass of E. crassipes leaves and stems collected from Dunga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya. Biochars were produced at temperatures ranging from 300°C to 700°C and characterised by FTIR for surface functional-group analysis, perc...
