This study aims to study the product yield and quality obtained from thermal and catalytic fast pyrolysis of durian shell, rattan and karanj shell in two-stage fixed-bed reactor over silica-alumina catalyst with different silica/alumina ratios, calcium- or iron-modified silica-alumina, and industrial waste-derived aluminosilicate catalysts.

The bio-oil produced from durian shell over silica-alumina catalyst with silica/alumina ratio of 5.1 (SA-5.1) at 600 'C has deoxygenation degree of 93.61% with 75.45% aromatics content.

Non-Catalytic And Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis Of Lignocellulosic Biomass Into Bio-Oil Over Aluminosilicate-Based Catalysts
description Depletion of fossil resources and increasing motivation to develop renewable liquid fuels and chemicals have generated interest in the study of biomass conversion. This study aims to study the product yield and quality obtained from thermal and catalytic fast pyrolysis of durian shell, rattan and karanj shell in two-stage fixed-bed reactor over silica-alumina catalyst with different silica/alumina ratios, calcium- or iron-modified silica-alumina, and industrial waste-derived aluminosilicate catalysts. Effects of particle size (up to 5 mm) and pyrolysis temperature (250-650 'C) were investigated in thermal fast pyrolysis while the effects of catalytic temperature, catalyst/feedstock ratio, types of feedstock, and catalyst regeneration were determined in catalytic fast pyrolysis. The best temperature for liquid production for durian shell, rattan and karanj shell was 650 'C, 550 'C and 550 'C, respectively. Silica-alumina catalyst with microporous characteristic was synthesized using co-precipitation method. The bio-oil produced from durian shell over silica-alumina catalyst with silica/alumina ratio of 5.1 (SA-5.1) at 600 'C has deoxygenation degree of 93.61% with 75.45% aromatics content.
