How to calculate molar ratios H/C and O/C in biochar?

08 August 2016 1 7K Report

Elemental contents of C, H, O, N, S can be determined by Elemental Analyzer, unit in %w.

So, to calculate the molar ratio of H/C , you can do by [%H/1(g/mol)]/[%C/(12g/mol)]. For example: %H = 1, %C = 80, so molar ratio of H/C = 0.15.

The same procedure for molar ratio O/C.
