ABSTRACT
The present research was developed with the purpose of evaluating the potentialities of Euterpe edulis Martius stem, discarded vegetable material by occasion of palm cabbage crop, for subproducts of carbonization and charcoal production. Effects of pyrolysis final temperatures of 300 and 500 centigrades, were analysed, among other factors. The pyrolysis of Euterpe edulis stem was viable, considering that medium revenues in charcoal (28,50 %), condensed gas (43,70 %) and fixed carbon (19,30 %) were satisfactory, although charcoal ash text was high (5,50 %).
Key words
