In this study, pyrolysis of microalgal remnants was investigated for recovery of energy and nutrients. Chlorella vulgaris (C.vulgaris) biomass was first solvent-extracted for lipid recovery then the remnants were used as the feedstock for fast pyrolysis experiments using a fluidized bed reactor at 500 o C. Yields of bio-oil, biochar and gas were 53, 31, and 10wt.%, respectively. Bio-oil from C....

The catalytic pyrolysis of Laminaria japonica was carried out over a hierarchical meso-MFI zeolite (Meso-MFI) and nanoporous Al-MCM-48 using pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The effect of the catalyst type on the product distribution and chemical composition of the bio-oil was examined using Py-GC/MS. The Meso-MFI exhibited a higher activity in deoxygenation and aromat...

Pyrolysis has been applied in the human economy for many years, and it become a significant alternative to production of chemical compounds, including biofuels. The article focuses mostly on recent achievements technical processing aspects pyrolysis. aim review is present latest research process waste biomass pyrolysis fuel production. paper describes mechanisms process, composition, properties...

Bio-oil produced from the pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse has potential to be used as a sustainable and renewable energy source. In present study, non-isothermal thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) (in N2 atmosphere) combustion air) bio-oil was investigated at three heating rates: 5, 10, 20 °C/min. The sample heated room temperature up 900 °C evolved gases in TG furnace were carried Fourier transf...

Pyrolysis of Alcea pallida stems was performed in a fixed-bed tubular reactor with and without catalyst at three different temperatures. The effects of pyrolysis parameters including temperature and catalyst on the product yields were investigated. It was found that higher temperature resulted in lower liquid (bio-oil) and solid (bio-char) yields and higher gas yields. Catalysts had different e...

In the present study, the high viscosity of the jatropha curcas oil was decreased by preheating. The effect of fuel inlet temperature on performance of diesel engine is evaluated. A single cylinder, four stroke, constant speed, air cooled, direct injection diesel engine developing a power output of 3.7 kW at 1500 rev/min typically used in agricultural sector was tested using neat jatropha oil a...

Resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin is a kind of excellent exterior-grade wood structural adhesive, which can be conveniently cold-set for various applications. In order to decrease the production cost, pyrolysis bio-oil from renewable bioresources was used to replace resorcinol to synthesize the bio-oil-resorcinol-aldehyde (BRF) resin. The effect of replacing resorcinol with bio-oil on the prop...

This work primarily investigated the pyrolysis of smalls scale fixed bed reactor using plastic wastes type LDPE during slow (non-isothermal) in a batch to assess effect different temperatures on product yield and heating value. The calorie bomb Parr Instrument was performed value pyro-oil at 250, 275, 300oC. obtained higher 300 oC while increased temperature will affect increase pyro-oil. highe...

Background Biomass-derived jet fuel is an alternative jet fuel (AJF) showing promise of reducing the dependence on fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions. Hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) concept is also known as one of the pathways for producing bio jet fuel. HEFA fuel was approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials in 2011, and can be blended up to 50% with conven...
