Abstract

The sugar producing industry generates tons of bagasse as a waste product. This bagasse has the potential to be converted to bio char. In this study, sugarcane bagasse was converted to bio char at 600 C for 3 hours and a heating rate of 10 C/min using the pyrolysis technology. A bio char yield of 75%was achieved with a surface area of 500 m2/g and a particle size of <2mm. The bio char was used as anadsorbent media in sugarcane wastewater and the changes in the pH, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (Tot-N), total phosphate (Tot-P) and the total solids(TS) were monitored using standard methods. Application of the bagasse based bio char in sugarcanewastewater treatment resulted in the significant reduction of BOD, COD, Tot-N, Tot-P and TS by85.1%, 84.8%, 74.8%, 76.5% and 84.7% respectively.
