Dear Paul
Thanks for the number set. Char usually has at least some volatiles left, perhaps 15%. There is carbon in the volatiles, and it is been a (so far) fruitless quest to find out what the analysis is for various fuels. Have you analysed actual rice hull char? Thanks Crispin +++++ Let us suppose that the proximate analysis of a rice hull sample is: 15.80% fixed carbon 63.60% volatile matter 20.60% ash. If we remove all volatile matter, the remainder would be: 43.41% fixed carbon 56.59% ash Should this material not be called biochar? Paul Olivier
