Pyrolysis has been applied in the human economy for many years, and it has become a significant alternative to the production of chemical compounds, including biofuels. The article focuses mostly on recent achievements in the technical and processing aspects of pyrolysis. This review provides an overview of the recent advanced pyrolysis technology used in gas, bio-oil, and biochar production. The key parameters to maximize the production of specific chemical compounds were discussed and considered during the construction of the reactors. The emphasis is put on optimizing the process parameters, technical requirements, and renewable energy use in the process and conception to improve the efficiency of product production. The application of pyrolysis gas, oil, and biochar as valuable chemical compounds are related to the intensifying effects of climate change, biofuel production, and waste management in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

“…Fast pyrolysis and ultra-fast (flash) pyrolysis maximize the gases and oil produced. One of the applications of slow pyrolysis is on producing biofuels on diesel engine performance, combustion and emission characteristics [92]. The pyrolysis process was carried out at 650 • C, with a particle size of 250 µm and 3 h of reaction time.…”

Biomass is an important renewable energy resource which primarily contributes to heating and cooling end use sectors. It is also a promising alternative source of biofuels to replace the depleting supply of fossil fuels. Surprisingly, few writers have been able to draw on the feedstock significance for oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) as the biomass resource for biofuels compared to the other types of biomass waste. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive review of EFB as a biomass resource presented in four major parts. First, the introduction covers the demand for bio-oil and describes the different kinds of feedstock, the relevance and potential of EFB biomass. Second, the characteristics of biomass are explained before it is upgraded as biofuel, drawing similarities and contrasts between EFB and other sources of biomass. Pyrolysis processes and reactors used for EFB conversion are described, and the factors affecting the bio-oil yield and quality are discussed. Major reactor parameters are summarized and reactor optimization is discussed. Third, comparison on the properties of the bio-oil vs. petroleum in transportation, power generation, and heating are compared followed by prioritizing the bio-oil properties from the most to least critical, revealing the most promising methods for upgrading. Fourth, the environmental impact, including CO2 emission, of the use of EFB as a promising renewable energy resource and a cleaner alternative fuel is recommended. This paper has comprehensively reviewed the conversion of oil palm empty fruit bunches into biofuels, including the similarities and differences between biomasses, the best reactors, its comparison with fossil fuels, and bio-oil upgrading methods. The upgrading mapping matrix is created to present the best upgrading strategies for the optimum quality of biofuels. This paper serves as a one-stop center for EFB conversion into biofuels.

“…However, the fast pyrolysis results strongly depend on the type of pyrolysis reactor [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. For the fast pyrolysis process, different types of reactors were developed in the past years including fixed bed [13], bubbling fluidized-bed and circulating fluidized-bed reactors [15,20], ablative, auger [19], and rotating reactors etc.…”

Fast Pyrolysis of Flax Shive in a Screw‐Type Reactor

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A novel screw-type reactor for the fast pyrolysis of agricultural waste (flax shive) is described. A preliminary study on the influence of process parameters on the yield, composition, and properties of pyrolysis products was carried out. Based on the results obtained, the optimal conditions of fast pyrolysis of flax shive particles in terms of feedstock particle size, solid residence time, and process temperature were identified. Considering the construction, the developed reactor seems to be close to the screw fluidized bed and auger reactor and is characterized by a simple design and operation control. Moreover, the proposed reactor can be used for continuous pyrolysis without any significant modification.
