The bagasse was packed in the air tight and placed inside electric control furnace and burnt at a temperature of 1200ËšC for 3h and 6h to obtain bagasse ash. After firing, it was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Bio-char disk (pellet) was formed by following appropriate amount of silica gel, PVA and DIW. They were annealed at 110ËšC for 3h to be binder burnt-out. They were annealed at 600ËšC for 1h to be more rigid. The bagasse ash ceramics were annealed at 1200ËšC for 1h, 2h and 3h. Microstructural properties of bagasse ash ceramics were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Physical properties such as firing shrinkage and density of all Bio-char ceramics were determined.
