Bio-Char, a black solid is an intermediate solid residue formed in the pyrolysis or gasification of most biomass with many potential applications. High bio char production is achieved at low temperature and low heating rate process. Bio char can be prepared from various bio mass which is normally solid waste in agriculture crop. The properties of bio char is heavily depends on biomass feedstock, gasifier design and operating condition. This work reports the biochar production from biomass material like corn stover and groundnut shells using specially designed gasifier. Solid yield is reported and also characterization of bio char is done. Proximate and Ultimate analysis of bio char is reported. Adsorption characterietics are studied by using oxalic acid and also Freundlich isotherm are plotted. Finally, results shows that the bio char is a good adsorbent also.
