Household refuse, often considered merely waste for disposal, is being considered as fuel for utility boilers [1] , for chemical feedstock for pyrol­ ysis to produce fuel gas and oil [2,3], and as media for anaerobic digestion by bacteria to produce methane [4]. Previous chemical analyses of this por­ tion of municipal solid waste were directed only at incineration [5] . The organic portion of ...

Short harvest window of corn (Zea mays) stover necessitates its storage before utilization; however, there is not enough work towards exploring the fast pyrolysis behavior of stored biomass. This study investigated the yields and the physicochemical properties (proximate and ultimate analyses, higher heating values and acidity) of the fast pyrolysis products obtained from single-pass stover and...

This research focusing the performance and emission characteristics study on the application of biofuel emulsions as alternate fuel used Kirloskar AV1 Direct Injection Diesel engine. Diesel engine performance was compared using different fuels, namely Diesel, Jatropha Methyl Ester and Jatropha Methyl Ester Wood Pyrolysis Oil emulsion, by applying various loads. Emission characteristics were obs...

Due to large heat load encountered in high speed flight (over Mach 5), the regenerative cooling of the engine leads to the study of the endothermic pyrolysis of the onboard hydrocarbon fuel, which acts as a coolant. However the control and regulation of such a technology implies to have a correct knowledge of the endothermic pyrolysis of the onboard hydrocarbon fuel, which motivates the develop...

In particular, a straw-based Ablative Fast Pyrolysis (AFP) oil was upgraded via hydrotreatment (HDT) in order to be used as blending component with fossil-based intermediates. The raw pyrolysis is characterized by H/C = 0.14, O/C 0.58 and C 57.73 wt%, while the HDT has 0.016 85.85 wt%. Based on density, viscosity composition, association typical refinery, possible petroleum refinery entry point...

various combustion characteristics and properties are studied while selecting a fuel for any engine. the choice of the engine and fuel are highly interrelated. vegetable oil is one obvious fuel particularly because their fuel properties are closer to diesel fuel. two important properties, the cetane number and the calorific value are similar to diesel. hence diesel engines can be operated on ve...

The NASA objective of expanding the human experience into the far reaches of space will require the development of regenerable life support systems. A key element of these systems is a means for solid waste resource recovery. The objective of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of pyrolysis processing as a method for the conversion of solid waste materials in a Controlled Ecological Li...

The research aims to utilize polyethylene (PET), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) plastic waste into liquid fuel by the pyrolysis process, currently, especially in Surabaya, a lot of waste, 13% - 14% is plastic. results sample from this study are distinguish temperature steam entering condenser also water condenser. And what will later be tested that oil close type gasoline or diesel. fo...

The cultivation of microalgae as a feedstock for renewable fuels is widely touted as a way to sequester CO2 while negating food versus fuel competition for land. However, the widespread industrial use of microalgae for biofuels has yet to reach a critical stage based on lipid extraction alone. One alternative to the transesterification of microalgae for liquid fuel production is to use thermoch...

Three lignins: Indulin AT, Lignoboost, and Acetocell lignin, were characterized and pyrolyzed in a continuous-fed fast pyrolysis process. The physical and chemical properties of the lignins included chemical composition, heat content, ash, and water content. The distributed activation energy model (DAEM) was used to describe the pyrolysis of each lignin. Activation energy distributions of each ...
