Bio-oil production by fast pyrolysis of cassava residues in a free-fall reactor using liquid media-assisted condensation

Bio-oil and char obtained from cassava rhizomes with soil conditioners by fast pyrolysis

“…The flow in our free-fall reactor is illustrated in Figure 1: it was used in our previous work and images are found there [28]. The components of the fast pyrolysis system are shown in Figure 2.…”

Process Optimization for Enhancing Yield and Quality of Bio-Oil from the Pyrolysis of Cow Hooves

“…Since the quantity and quality of bio-oil in a thermal conversion process depends on certain conditions, proper control of the pyrolysis process can guarantee high-quality bio-oil even with minimal upgrade hence saving cost. Temperature, heating rate and catalyst are key factors in a pyrolysis process [25,26] which when properly manipulated can give the desired high yield and quality of bio-oil which include high pH, low water and ash contents as well as high heating value [27,28]. While the yield of bio-oil is highly linked to temperature influence [29,30] and heating rate [31], bio-oil quality is greatly influenced by catalysts like CaO which is known to increase the oil pH [32] as well as decrease its moisture content [33][34][35][36][37].…”
