Generally speaking, the original calorific value of palm shell after drying is about 4500~5000 kcal/kg. However, during the carbonization process, the fixed carbon in the palm shell is retained by high temperature (usually above 600 degrees Celsius) for 40~60 minutes, while other components (such as moisture, volatile matter, etc.) are removed. This process enhances the strength and density of palm shell charcoal, and also greatly increases the calorific value. The calorific value of carbonized palm shell charcoal can usually reach 6500~8000 kcal/kg, depending on the temperature and time of the carbonization process and the original quality of the palm shell.
Therefore, as a renewable resource, palm shell has the characteristics of high calorific value, low ash and low moisture after carbonization, and is very suitable for use as a biofuel. In addition, palm shell charcoal can also be used in soil improvement, metallurgy and other fields, with a wide range of uses and market prospects.
