Pore structure of rice husk char during steam gasification was studied in a fixed bed gasifier.
The surface of the char generated at higher temperatures has more thermal etching marks.
The pore structure of rice husk char is the most abundant at 1000 °C with SSA of 316 m2/g.
After gasification, the pore size increases, and the SSA is significantly reduced to 1–4 m2/g.
