This study used the fast pyrolysis method to produce bio-oil from coffee bean residue. The oil was mixed with diesel fuel through emulsification to produce emulsified fuel with varying proportions. A single-cylinder diesel engine connected to a 12-kW power generation system was used as the test...

As production of palm oil is expanding, a more efficient use of oil palm biomass to obtain more energy from oil palm plantations is investigated. The work was carried out on a fluidised bed bench scale fast pyrolysis unit, with the objective of determining the important conditions and key...

Biomass fast pyrolyis in a fluidised bed reactor was carried out. Results showed that the highest bio-oil yield (62.39 wt%) was obtained from sawdust at 500°C. Bio-oil yield was influenced by biomass pyrolysis temperature from 450°C to 550°C, and maximum bio-oil yield of 53.33 wt% was...

Bio-oil is a brown liquid product from biomass fast pyrolysis. The upgrading of bio-oil has been a hotspot due to its contribution to the application of bio-oil. The properties of bio-oil, research progress, advantages and disadvantages of upgrading techniques of bio-oil from biomass fast...

Herein we report the fast pyrolysis of dried, ground Scenedesmus sp. at two different reactor scales. Pyrolysis was performed at 480 °C and 1 bar in both an isothermal spouted bed reactor and a dynamic pyrolysis-GC/MS unit, each with 2 s vapor residence times. Bio-oil products were...

Liquid bio-oils were produced from miscanthus (Miscanthus sacchariflorus) by fast pyrolysis at various temperature ranges (350–500 °C) with a short residence time and their physicochemical properties were determined to evaluate the potentials for biofuel utilization. Before operating fast...

Crude bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis of yellow poplar wood was subjected to HDO (hydrodeoxygenation) for the purpose of reducing water content as well as increasing heating value. HDO was performed in an autoclave reactor at three different reaction factors: temperature (250–370 °C),...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the chemical exergy (eCH), the higher heating value (HHV) and the lower heating value (LHV) of liquid products obtained from catalytic fast pyrolysis of hazelnut cupulae. In this study, the first and the second law of fast pyrolysis products of a biomass...

Fast pyrolysis of agricultural residues from sugarcane and cassava plantations was carried out in a laboratory-scale free-fall reactor unit. The objectives of this work were to investigate the effects of biomass types and pyroysis conditions, such as reactor temperature, condensation...
