Production of pyrolyzed oil from crude glycerol using a microwave heating technique

Crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production created via transesterification was pyrolyzed using a microwave heating technique in an oxygen-deficient environment. Coconut shell-based activated carbon was used as a catalyst to assist in the heat transfer and the cracking of glycerol into gase...

Investigation into the product yield was conducted by varying the pyrolysis temperature between 300°C and 800°C. The result revealed that liquid and gaseous pyrolysis products yield fell in the range of 15-42% and 55-82% by mass, respectively.

The derived pyrolysis products can potentially be used as alternative fuels in combustion systems.
