N2  - Two raw biomass materials from different sources were investigated: aluminosilicate obtained from rice husk and agricultural lignocellulosic waste from kenaf fiber. The properties of the optimal mixing ratio of biochar were investigated by using proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, surface area and pore volume determination, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. According to the proximate analysis, the ash content is increasing while the moisture content fixed carbon and volatile matter decrease. On the basis of the BET characterization finding, the surface area is increased proportionally to the increasing mixing ratio RHB: KFB (0.8:0.2, 0.5:0.5, 0.2:0.8). The SEM images showed that both biochars are suitable sources of blending because of the differences and the availability of good adsorbents. This study indicated that RHB and KFB as pure biochar have a great potential to be applied as adsorbents. How-ever, blending is not giving the desired result to be used as an adsorbent. © 2021, Ecological Engineering & Environmental Technology. All rights reserved.
