Pyrolysis of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) dry peel

Characterization of Pyrolysis Products Obtained During the Preparation of Bio-Oil and Activated Carbon

“…From these results, it is evident that an appropriate selection of the heating rate, pyrolysis atmosphere and temperature will lead to more desirable end products. There is a good agreement between thermogravimetric weight loss data previously reported (Guevara, 2009;Miranda et al, 2009) and the data from the fixed bed reactor set-up. Therefore, these results will be helpful for designing and operating a pyrolysis plant of biomass.…”

Upgrade of citrus waste as a biofuel via slow pyrolysis

“…Several authors [18][19][20] recently studied pyrolysis and gasification of citrus peel wastes and their potential use as bio-fuel for electrical and thermal energy production. As per other similar agro industrial waste, in order to be efficiently used as a bio-fuel, feedstock require treatments aimed at increasing their stability and energy density as well as lowering the hydrophilicity and their oxy- 50 30 250 N2 50 30 300 N2 50 30 LP/OP 325 N2 50 30 400 He 50 30 500 He 50 30 650 He 50 30 gen content.…”

Pyrolysis of orange waste: A thermo-kinetic study

“…Regardless of the numerous studies on biomass pyrolysis kinetics, only a few studies have been focused on the processes taking place during the pyrolysis of orange waste [14,15]. However, an analysis of the kinetic data and detailed research on the pyrolysis gaseous products at different reaction temperatures has not been reported.…”
