The Influence of Oxygen in the Carbonization of Oil Palm Shell on Bio-Char Yield and Properties

Abstract: The presence of oxygen from air infiltration during the carbonization process of biomass is expected to be detrimental to biochar yield and properties. Experimental study was carried out on oil palm shell in a fixed-bed pyrolyser under various oxygen concentrations ranging from 0% to 11 % by varying the nitrogen and oxygen fractions in the pyrolysing gas mixture. The two critical parameters: the bed temperature and holding time were also varied. Process optimization was carried out by Response Surface Methodol… Show more

“…Recently, the effects of residence time, temperature, and oxygen concentration on the carbonization of biomass have been studied; the reports show that the best conditions are attributed to a short residence time, temperatures below 420 • C, and low oxygen concentrations. Therefore, the oxidation of biomass is mainly due to exposure to natural atmosphere for a prolonged residence time [28]. Although the thermal treatment of biomass is carried out at low temperatures, the residence time is usually extended for long periods above 90 min, increasing the exposure to the natural atmosphere.…”

“…The material treated was separated from the H 3 PO 4 solution and dried in an oven at 110 • C for 4 h and subsequently carbonized in a muffle furnace at 400 • C under natural atmosphere, with a heating rate of 5 • C/min. Once the temperature was reached, the sample was taken out of the muffle furnace and cooled down at room temperature for 1 h in order to decrease the oxidation of carbon [28,29]. The as-prepared carbon was washed with 200 mL of distilled water, put in contact with 200 mL of ethanol for 24 h, and dried in an oven at 110 • C for 7 h. Carbon was activated using a KOH solution considering a 1:2 mass ratio, under constant stirring for 1 h, and then placed in a muffle furnace at 500 • C with a rate of 5 • C/min.…”
