Abstrakt: The objective of this study was to examine the properties of hybrid biochar produced from date palm (D) and pistachio (P) residues and their co-pyrolysis at mixing ratios of 60:40 (by weight). Biochars were produced at 500 °C through pyrolysis in a tube furnace and subsequently characterized. Results indicated that pistachio biochar (PBC) had a high carbon content (81.02 wt%) and a low oxygen content (17.57 wt%). Conversely, the date palm biochar (DBC) had a high ash content (28.11 wt%) and a low carbon content (40.08 wt%). Blending D and P at the specified ratios improved the biochar samples' gross and elemental contents. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were utilized to determine the morphology and structure of the produced biochar.
