Abstract: The aim of this work was to analyse the influence of the pyrolysis temperature and feedstock composition on biochar yield and physicochemical properties. The raw materials to be pyrolyzed were characterized, and an experimental design was applied to carry out a statistical study. Three operating temperatures (673, 773 and 873 K) and two bio-wastes (nut and almond shells) were used.
