Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation which produces three main products; char (solid), bio-oil (liquid) and gas. In this study fast pyrolysis of two different treated sewage sludge (TSS) samples were performed in a fluidized-bed reactor. The experiment was carried out at varying temperature ranging from 500 to 650 ˚C. Nitrogen gas was supplied as purge flow with a 50 ml/min flow rate. The optimum bio-oil yield for TSS-C and TSS-D samples was obtained at an optimum temperature of 600 °C. The yield was 21.53±0.58 wt% and 24.56±1.39 wt% respectively. The proximate and ultimate analysis of the treated sewage sludge was also carried out. The bio-oil produced from optimum temperature was analyzed by GC-MS. The study indicated that the majority chemical compounds of bio-oil from fast pyrolysis were phenol, aromatic, nitrogenated compound, alkenes and alkanes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
