Abstract
This study focuses on the production of carbonized cow bone through thermal treatment for potential use in fertilizer and energy applications. The carbonized material, derived from animal waste, exhibits promising features such as high carbon content, porosity, and residual minerals. These properties suggest its suitability as a soil amendment for nutrient retention and as a solid fuel additive.This research supports the valorization of agro-waste, promoting circular economy strategies and environmentally friendly resource recovery, particularly in low-resource settings.
