>>We have pyrolysed cocnut husk at 450 deg. cent. and obtained the following
>>results.
>> Husk 1000 Gms
>> Carbon produced 300 Gms
>>
>>Proximate analysis of carbon is
>>
>> Moisture 7.1 %
>> Ash 3.7 %
>> Volatile matter     37.0 %
>> Fixed carbon 52.2 %
>>
>>Are these results along expected lines for husk pyrolysis ?
