It is becoming increasingly popular to manage agricultural wastes in an environmentally friendly manner and to take advantage of this waste by manufacturing a product with good properties and a high carbon percentage and then using it as a substitute for a variety of materials and fillers in several industrial and environmental applications. This process has become increasingly popular as awareness of environmental issues has grown. This study aimed to characterize and evaluate the amount of carbon that was present in the sample. The physicochemical characteristics of biochars produced from sesbania stems that were pyrolyzed at a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius for a period of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 hours. The characterizations of biochar produced from sesbania are done by Energy dispersive spectrometer and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy. It was found that as the pyrolysis residence time grew, the yield of biochar and the functional groups decreased, however, the amount of fixed carbon content increased, and all these effects contribute to the volatile matters that are present in the material. SSB is going to be an invaluable resource for applications in which high carbon content is required, as well as for use as a filler in a variety of composites.
