Investigation on the quality of bio-oil produced through fast pyrolysis of biomass-polymer waste mixture
A high-impact poly-styrene (HIPS) was mixed with dried and ground coconut shell (CS) at equal weight percentage. Fast pyrolysis was carried out on the mixture in a fixed bed reactor over a temperature range of 573 K to 1073 K, and a nitrogen (N2) linear velocity range of 7.8x10-5 m/s to 6.7x10-2...

| Summary: | A high-impact poly-styrene (HIPS) was mixed with dried and ground coconut shell
(CS) at equal weight percentage. Fast pyrolysis was carried out on the mixture in a fixed bed
reactor over a temperature range of 573 K to 1073 K, and a nitrogen (N2) linear velocity range
of 7.8x10-5 m/s to 6.7x10-2 m/s to produce bio-oil. Heat transfer and fluid dynamics of the
pyrolysis process inside the reactor was visualised by using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD). The CFD modelling was validated by experimental results and they both indicated that
at temperature of 923 K and N2 linear velocity of 7.8x10-5 m/s, the maximum bio-oil yield of
52.02 wt% is achieved. |
