“…Nevertheless, terrestrial biomass may eventually be competitive with crop and food production. Therefore, many researchers have paid much attention to marine algae biomass, which are considered to be excellent candidates for bio-oil production because of their development superiorities of fast growth rate, great photosynthetic efficiency, superior biomass production, and lack of arable soil requirements (Pan et al, 2010). The marine macro-algae, Enteromorpha prolifera, pose no competition with food production on land and have a very high growth rate.…”

The use of non-food biomass for bio-oils production appears to be an important trend for renewable energy in China. Biomass, in the form of marine macro-algae, is becoming popular among new renewable energy sources. Fast pyrolysis is one of the most important thermal conversion processes from biomass to bio-fuel. In this work, the marine green tide macroalgae Enteromorpha prolifera was converted into bio-oil by fast pyrolysis in a free-fall reactor at different temperatures ranging from 100 to 750 ı C. The bio-oil obtained was analyzed by elemental, gas chromatography-mass spectrometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The results showed that the average heat value was 25.33 MJ kg 1 and the oxygen content was 30.27 wt%. The results suggested that E. prolifera presents as a good bio-oil feedstock candidate.

“…Often, the proposed solution is to utilize this waste in thermal processing applications that include combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis. Many authors have focused on the kinetics and thermal characterization of microalgae and marine biomass, and as a result these aspects have been widely studied [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Catalytic Vapor Cracking for Improvement of Bio-Oil Quality

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bio-oil has attracted considerable interest as a promising renewable energy resource because it can be utilized as a feedstock in integrated bio-refineries for the production of highly valuable chemicals and next-generation hydrocarbon fuels. However, it is necessary to improve the bio-oil quality before it can be fed to bio-refineries. Currently, catalytic vapor cracking seems a more attractive process than catalytic upgrading technologies, such as hydrotreating and esterification, in order to improve the bio-oil quality. This review presents a summary of recent research and the state of art technology for the catalytic vapor cracking of bio-oil, focusing on the catalysts applied, upgrading methods and reaction mechanisms.
