Resumen

En este trabajo se caracterizó el biocarbón (BC), subproducto del proceso de gasificación en lecho fijo de pellets (PL) y astillas (CH) de madera de Pinus patula, como enmendador de suelos. Las propiedades fisicoquímicas y el contenido mineral de las cenizas del biocarbón de pellets (PL-BC) y del biocarbón de astillas (CH-BC) se analizaron siguiendo la norma técnica colombiana NTC5167. El área superficial BET de los BC fue de 367,33 m2/g y 233,56 m2/g, para el PL-BC y el CH-BC, respectivamente, y el volumen de poro fue de 0,20 cm3/g para el PL-BC y de 0,13 cm3/g para el CH-BC. Estas características favorecen el aumento de la capacidad de retención de agua (WHC) de los BCs. El pH (8,8-9,0), la WHC (219 % - 186,4 %), el carbono orgánico total (33,8 % - 23,9 %), la presencia de metaloides (Ca, Mg, K, Mn, Al, Si y Fe), el contenido de cenizas (1,92 wt% - 2,74 wt%) y humedad (11,13 wt% - 11,63 wt%) para ambos BCs, cumplen con lo establecido por la norma NTC5167. Además, la presencia de micro y macronutrientes, como el Fe y el fósforo (P), y el pH alcalino, hacen viable utilizar estos BCs como enmendadores de suelos con carácter ácido
