“…This could be explained by the slightly higher nitrogen content accounted for the upgraded bio-oil (see Table 3). However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the increase in NOx emissions are directly related to the temperature and oxygen content in the combustion chamber, or even due to the higher water content of the mixture [12]. This fact could be also explained by the different value of the viscosity found for the mixture that could entail a different behaviour in the atomisation of the fuel in the cylinder [9].…”

This paper reports the performance of a spark ignition engine using gasoline blended with an upgraded bio-oil rich in aromatics and ethanol. This upgraded bio-oil was obtained using a two-step catalytic process. The first step comprised an in-situ catalytic pyrolysis process with CaO in order to obtain a more stable deoxygenated organic fraction, while the second consisted of a catalytic cracking of the vapours released using ZSM-5 zeolites to obtain an aromatics-rich fraction. To facilitate the mixture between bio-oil and gasoline, ethanol was added. The behaviour of a stationary spark ignition engine G12TFH (9600 W) was described in terms of fuel consumption and electrical efficiency. In addition, gaseous emissions and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were determined. Trial tests suggested that it is possible to work with a blend of gasoline, ethanol and bio-oil (90/8/2 vol%, herein named G90E8B2) showing similar fuel consumption than pure gasoline (G100) at the same load. Moreover, combustion could be considered more efficient when small quantities of ethanol and organic bio-oil are simultaneously added. A reduction, not only in the PAH concentrations but also in the carcinogenic equivalent concentrations, was also obtained, decreasing the environmental impact of the exhaust gases. Thus, results show that it is technically feasible to use low blends of aroma-rich bio-oil, ethanol and gasoline in conventional spark ignition engines.

“…This is because of the enhanced atomization and enriched air/fuel mixer ratio, which creates the enhanced combustion of fuel molecules 2 . When compared to previous pyrolysis oil studies ( Calophyllum inophyllum pyrolysis oil blends, 3 mahua pyrolysis oil blends, 38 jatropha pyrolysis oil blends, 39 jatropha methyl ester + tyre pyrolysis oil, 40 and n‐pentanol+ Calophyllum inophyllum blends 37 ), F20 spectacles lower BSFC value.…”

Biofuel is a renewable fuel and can be used as a replacement for diesel. Pyrolysis oil can be derived from non‐edible de‐oiled seed cakes. This investigation focuses on the exergy investigation of a compression ignition (CI) engine to maximize the work exergy (availability) and minimize the destroyed exergy, powered by Aegle marmelos (AM) de‐oiled seed cake bio‐oil blends. A dual blend of diesel and AM pyrolysis oil was taken in ratios, F0 = 100 + 0, F5 = 95 + 5, F10 = 90 + 10, F15 = 85 + 15, and F20 = 80 + 20 and were tested on a constant speed CI engine at standard compression ratio. The investigational analysis exhibited that a high amount of oxygen content in AM pyrolysis oil blends increased the brake thermal efficiency and decreased the brake‐specific fuel consumption compared with diesel (F0). The owing exergy efficiency was obtained from the F20 blend (57.21%) at 100% load (W). Based on the investigation, considering availability and performance behavior of F5, F10, F15, and F20 blends were suggested as suitable biofuel alternatives to diesel.

“…In pyrolysis process, long-chain hydrocarbons breakdown to short-chain hydrocarbon, and this condensable short-chain hydrocarbon is known as bio-oil. 123 Pradhan et al 125 determined the possibility of utilizing mahua pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel, obtained from mahua seed using semi-batch type reactor with varying temperature 450 C to 600 C. The maximum yield obtained about 50 wt% at the optimal temperature of 525 C. Shadangi and Mohanty 126 produced niger pyrolysis oil from niger seed using conventional thermal pyrolysis. The optimal temperature was determined to be 550 C for the maximum niger bio-oil yield of 34.5%.…”

“…The quantity and quality of the extracted biofuel depend on the types of feedstocks, oil content in the plant seeds, and the types of pyrolysis use. 120,125 Various types of pyrolysis reactors have been employed in the production of biofuel, including (i) circulating uidized bed, (ii) bubbling uidized bed, (iii) focussed solar reactor, (iv) rotating cone, and (v) ablative. The main advantages of pyrolytic bio-oil are easy to handle, store and transport.…”
