Bio-oil production from fast pyrolysis of maple fruit (acer platanoides samaras): product yields

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate fast pyrolysis of maple fruit as an energy sources. This could serve as a solution to the energy sources problem. Design/methodology/approach Fast pyrolysis of maple fruit (samara) was achieved in a fixed bed reactor. The pyrolysis experiments have been conducted on the sample of maple seeds to particularly determine the effects of pyrolysis temperature, particle size and sweep gas flow rate on the pyrolysis product yields. Findings The oil of maple fruit from fast pyrolysis has good properties to be a potential candidate as a biofuel or as a source of chemicals. In addition to being environmentally desirable, it can reduce the energy cost, e.g. that Turkey imports a majority of its energy. Originality/value The use of maple fruit for fast pyrolysis and pyrolysis conditions impact on the yields of pyrolysis liquid can be considered as novel aspects of this paper.

Fast Pyrolysis of Tea Bush, Walnut Shell, and Pine Cone Mixture: Effect of Pyrolysis Parameters on Pyrolysis Crop Yields

“…The heating value of a raw material mixture of tea bush, walnut shell, and pine cone in equal quantities and subjected to fast pyrolysis is 17.67 MJ kg −1 . The heating value of the raw bio-oil generated by fast pyrolysis is determined to be 24.66 MJ kg −1 under the most efficient circumstances (50 cm 3 .min −1 nitrogen flow rate, 100 • C.min −1 heating rate, and 500 • C pyrolysis temperature).…”

“…Using the graphic data in Figures 11-15, the impacts of pyrolysis conversion, liquid efficiency, solid efficiency, and gas efficiency are assessed. The highest value in Figure 11 is 57.9 wt% at 300 cm 3 .min −1 , while the lowest is 47.84 wt% at 50 cm 3 .min −1 at 300 °C and 100 °C.min −1 . It has been found that the nitrogen flow rate has less impact on pyrolysis conversion at middle speeds (100-200 cm 3 .min −1 ).…”

“…In this context, all organic materials of plant and animal origin, whose primary building blocks are carbohydrate molecules, are considered biomass energy sources. Biomass energy is the term used to describe the energy derived from these sources [3]. However, the biomass energy potential does not consider conventional forests, food, or agricultural products.…”

“…Again, a 1 g biomass mixture with a particle size of ≤1 mm was placed in the reactor, and tests were performed at heating rates of 100, 250, 400, and 600 • C.min −1 and temperatures of 300, 400, 500, 600, and 750 • C. Third, the influence of nitrogen flow rate on the efficiency of pyrolysis products was explored. In the reactor, the ≤1 mm particle size biomass mixture was placed, and tests were performed at 300, 400, 500, 600, and 750 • C at 100, 250, 400, and 600 • C.min −1 heating rates with a nitrogen flow of 50, 100, 200, and 300 cm 3 .min −1 . The percentages of liquid, solid, gaseous, and pyrolysis conversions were computed as a consequence of the trials.…”
