This research attempted to demonstrate a simple method to produce high‐grade pyrolysis oil by maximizing the use of biomass wastes. In this study, the results of pyrolysis of palm shell alone are compared with pyrolysis of palm shell/polystyrene mixtures (1:1 weight ratios). Pyrolysis was carried out in a fixed‐bed reactor under the following conditions: a temperature of 500°C, a nitrogen flow rate of 2 L/min, and reaction time of 60 min. The results showed that the final oil yield of palm shell pyrolysis was about 46.13 wt %. By mixing the palm shell with polystyrene, the yield of oil increased to about 61.63%. In these experiments, the high heating value was low (11.94 MJ/kg) for oil from pyrolysis of palm shell. By contrast, the high heating value was a high 38.01 MJ/kg for oil from pyrolysis of material mixtures. In addition, by using this method, more waste matter can be consumed as raw material for pyrolysis oil production, which also benefits waste management and energy security in Malaysia. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 33: 1026–1033, 2014

“…Also biomass and coal have low hydrogen to carbon ratio and therefore gives low liquid yield. Most researchers have studied the co-pyrolysis of biomass/coal with plastics or synthetic polymers and obtained higher quantity and better quality of oil in comparison with those obtained from biomass or coal pyrolysis alone [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…54,55,[57][58][59][60] Levoglucosan has been reported as the most abundant component in the cellulose pyrolysis oil, the content is more than 50 wt % of pyrolysis oil. Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural are also the major components in the cellulose pyrolysis oil.…”
