Catalytic pyrolysis of rain tree biomass (RTB), a typical horticultural waste, was investigated with nano-NiO as catalyst produced from hazardous nickel plating slag (NPS). It appeared from the analyses by FTIR, TGA, XRD, BET, and FESEM/EDX that nano-NiO produced had a SBET and mean particle size of...
