Abstract

The chicken sector has grown quickly, which has resulted in the creation of a lot of manure, which produces gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and contribute to odour pollution. H2S is a very unwanted gas component and must be removed from the environment. First, the current study focused on preparing the Melaleuca Cajuputi biochar at three temperatures: 300 oC, 400 oC, and 500 oC. The synthesized biochars were confirmed by FT-IR analysis. The effect of the biochar on H2S absorption were studied. The biochar that was prepared at 500 oC showed the most effective material in absorbing the odour gas after two days.
