Biochar is a pyrolysis product resulted from biomass burning in oxygen limited conditions and is exp
ected to serve as soil
ameliorant.In this paper a laboratory study was conducted using three types of biochar ( palm empty
fruit bunches (tankos),
rice husk and peat from Bengkalis). The study was aimed at identifying the characteristics of each b
iochar burned at a
temperature of 350
o
C with different pyrolysis time (3, 4 and5 hours). The analysis of lignin content showed that the pe
at
from Bengkalis has higher lignin (50.23%) followed by tankos (41.96%) and rice husk (18.40%). The re
sults of Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) show lower-layer Bengkalis peat (A2) has more functional grou
p than husk
burned for three hours and four hours (8 types and 12 types). The appearance of rice husk biochar s
urface pores pyrolyzed
for 3 hours, with 1000x magnification is sturdy and orderly arranged, smaller macro and micro pore s
ize (3.758
?
m) than
of husk biochar pyrolyzed for four hours (1.612
?
m; 1.800
?
m; 2.593
?
m). In Bengkalis peat (A2), the macro and micro
pores are sturdy and orderly arranged, the size of the pores is partially collapsed so that it is sm
aller and cannot be
measured. Large and orderly arranged structure and form of pores will increase the role of biochar a
s ameliorant in the soil.
The formation of intact pore makes biochar better in terms of bulk density, particle density, and ae
ration.
