This research evaluated the characteristics of biochar produced from slow pyrolysis of banana peel for agricultural soil applications. Two operating conditions were used with a pyrolysis temperature of 370 °C and heating rates of 11 °C/min and 35 °C/min. These conditions were determined with the aid of a computer model using Chemkin software. Pyrolysis products were characterized with respect to potential of hydrogen (pH), electric conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), morphology, surface area, C/N, H/C and O/C atomic ratios. Results showed an alkaline structure with a pH of 12.60 and CEC of 511 mmol/kg – suitable for soil amendment. The increase in the pyrolysis heating rate resulted in higher stability of the biochar due to the low H:C atomic ratios while increases in surface area and the number of pores was evident. Overall, the characteristics found in the produced biochars demonstrated viable application in agricultural soils as amendment.
