Rice husk, the outermost coating of rice grains, is a substantial byproduct of rice milling in Malaysia, a major rice producer. This research aims to produce and analyze carbon derived from rice husk using the pyrolysis method with various pyrolysis temperatures (250, 350, 450, and 550 °C) and soaking times (3 and 4 h). The study seeks to examine the physical and chemical characteristics of the biochar that is produced. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) provide information on biochar's morphology and chemical composition. These techniques reveal that higher temperatures result in more porosity and increased exposure to silica. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy has been used to detect and characterize functional groups. A distinct peak at 450 °C is seen for the Si-O-Si functional group. The increase in porosity may be ascribed to the elimination of volatile compounds and the developing micropores at higher temperatures. With an increase in the pyrolysis temperature, a greater amount of volatile matter was eliminated, resulting in the formation of larger pores of the biochar.
