Modern biomass-based transportation fuels from pyrolysis process, bio-ethanol, bio-methanol and bio-diesel

In this paper, the modern biomass-based transportation fuels such as fuels from Pyrolysis process, bio-ethanol, bio-methanol, and bio-diesel are briefly reviewed. Here, the term bio-fuel and non-organic fuel is referred to as liquid or gaseous fuels for the transport sector that are predominantly produced from biomass. There are several reasons for bio-fuels and non-organic fuel to be considered as relevant technologies by both developing and industrialized countries. They include energy security reasons, environmental concerns, foreign exchange savings, and socioeconomic issues related to the rural sector. The term modern biomass is generally used to describe the traditional biomass use through the efficient and clean combustion technologies and sustained supply of biomass resources, environmentally sound and competitive fuels, heat and electricity using modern conversion technologies. Modern bio-mass can be used for the generation of electricity and heat. Bio-ethanol, bio-methanol and bio-diesel as well as diesel produced from biomass by Pyrolysis process are the most modern biomass-based transportation fuels. Bio-ethanol is a petrol additive/substitute

Membandingkan Kinerja Mesin Bensin Dua Langkah Satu Silinder pada Sepeda Motor Menggunakan Variasi Campuran Bahan Bakar Minyak Hasil Proses Pirolisis Sampah Plastik dan Premium dengan Premium Murni

This research was aimed to know the performance of engine using variation of plastic waste pyrolysis and premium process result-gasoline fuel mix and pure premium and comparing with pure premium. The fuel mix variation used consisted of 20% plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil, 80% premium and 49%plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil, 60%premium. The research procedures included firstly the tested engine given pure premium fuel and the engine was run for 2-3 minutes by installing a transmission gear in 4th position, then rotation, torsion, power and specific fuel consumption was measured. Furthermore, the engine was stopped and the fuel was substituted with varied plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil mix, the engine was re-run. The measurement rotations, torsion, power and specific fuel construction was conducted by the same way with pure premium fuel testing. Out of test results for the same rotation of 5000-8000 engine RPM using fuel mix of 20% plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil the average power was 10.04 HP, average torsion of 11.10 Nm, specific fuel consumption of 0.100 kg/hour HP and engine using fuel mix of 40% plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil the average power was 9.7 HP, average torsion of 10.82 NM, specific fuel consumption o f 0.068 kg/hour HP. While using pure premium the average power was 9.8 HP, average torsion of 10.94 Nm, specific fuel consumption was 0.103 kg/hour HP. If compared, so that engine performance using fuel mix of 40% plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil and 60% premium almost approached engine performance using pure premium fuel and actually 20% fuel mix of plastic waste pyrolysis process result oil and 80% premium was better

Improvement of the pyrolysis process

In modern chemistry pyrolysis is the principal process and large-tonnage provider, primarily, of lower olefins - ethylene, propylene - as well as butadiene, benzene and other products. The level of efficiency of the pyrolysis process largely determines the development of the petrochemical industry in whole, therefore rationalization of the process is an ongoing task of high relevance. The aim of this work is to develop a method for increasing the efficiency of the pyrolysis for lower olefins on the base of the analysis of the mechanism of the process with the possibility of controlling it. The kinetics of the interaction of the hydrocarbons with hydrogen atoms, methyl radicals and their mixtures were determined. The data on the relative reactivity of bonds of different types in reactions with hydrogen atoms and methyl radicals and the data on the effective relative reactivity when using an inert diluent increase our knowledge of the pyrolysis of feedstock of any given composition. A method based on the influence of hydrogen on the thermal reactions of alkanes and alkenes was developed to increase the selectivity of the process for the target product (lower olefins) and to reduce the yield of the liquid products of condensation and specific energy consumption. © 2018 WIT Press.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was supported by Act 211 Government of the Russian Federation, contract № 02.A03.21.0006

Some peculiarities of burnt birch wood pyrolysis

The results of thermal analysis of sound and burnt birch wood samples were compared. An attempt was made to establish a connection between the type of the TG, DTG and DSC curves and the mechanism of wood pyrolysis. The dependence of the exothermic effect of the pyrolysis process on the oxygen content in the original wood is shown. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved

Processing waste printed circuit boards for material recovery

PURPOSE We have investigated the use of pyrolysis for the processing of waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). The aim was to make the process of separating the organic, metallic, and glass fibre fractions of PCBs much easier and therefore make recycling of each PCB fraction more viable. DESIGN / METHODOLOGY / APPROACH The PCBs were pyrolysed in a fixed bed reactor at 850°C. The organic fraction released by the boards was analysed by a variety of gas chromatography techniques. The residue that remained after pyrolysis was analysed by ICP-MS to determine the type of metals that were present. FINDINGS When PCBs were heated to 800°C in an oxygen free atmosphere, the organic fraction decomposed to form volatile oils and gases leaving behind the metal and glass fibre fraction of the boards. The pyrolysed boards were very friable and the different fractions (metal components, copper power boards, glass fibre, etc) could be easily separated. The recovered metals could then be recycled by traditional routes with particular emphasis being placed on the recovery and recycling of rare and precious metals. The organic oils and gases which are produced during pyrolysis of PCBs can either be used as a chemical feedstock or as a fuel. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS The research was only carried out on a very small scale so an investigation into scale-up must be performed. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS By using pyrolysis, the organic and metallic fraction of printed circuit boards can be separated and recycled. ORIGINALITY/VALUE This paper presents a novel method for resource recovery from PCBs

Microwave pyrolysis of oil palm fibres

Malaysia and Indonesia are generating millions of ton of oil palm fibres (OPF) from their oil palm mills as biomass solid wastes which needs proper waste utilization application. The main purpose of the present research was to pyrolyse the OPF biomass into bio-oil using microwave irradiation technique. A domestic microwave of 1000 W and 2.45 GHz frequency was modified to accommodate fluidized bed system. It was found that OPF showed poor microwave absorbing characteristics. Therefore, an appropriate microwave-absorbing material such as biomass char was added to initiate the pyrolysis process. Temperature profiles and bio-oil yield was investigated by varying the ratio of OPF to microwave absorber. It was found that the yield of bio-oil depended on the ratio of OPF to microwave absorber. Particular attention on the temperature profiles was also taken into account during microwave heating of OPF. It can be concluded that microwave technique can save significant time and energy through its rapid and volumetric heating characteristic

Pyrolysis process for producing fuel gas

Solid waste resource recovery in space is effected by pyrolysis processing, to produce light gases as the main products (CH.sub.4, H.sub.2, CO.sub.2, CO, H.sub.2O, NH.sub.3) and a reactive carbon-rich char as the main byproduct. Significant amounts of liquid products are formed under less severe pyrolysis conditions, and are cracked almost completely to gases as the temperature is raised. A primary pyrolysis model for the composite mixture is based on an existing model for whole biomass materials, and an artificial neural network models the changes in gas composition with the severity of pyrolysis conditions
