Char conversion by pyrolysis is a promising technique for the production of renewable carbon source. In this study, char generated from agricultural waste (i.e. palm shell) was studied as reductant instead of fossil fuels. The palm shell char was prepared by chemical activation using orthophosphoric acid and pyrolysis under an inert atmosphere at 723 K. The reduction experiment was conducted to understand the reduction of iron oxide with palm shell char where the associated reaction kinetics was elucidated. The reduction conditions were kept constant for 30 min, C/O ratio was 0.6 and particle size
