Analytical characterization of the Aegle marmelos pyrolysis products and investigation on the suitability of bio‐oil as a third generation bio‐fuel for C.I engine

Abstract

The present investigation emphasis on characteristics of pyrolysis products was obtained by intermediate pyrolysis of Aegle marmelos (AM) deoiled seed cake and appropriateness of engine adaptation. The superior volatile matter (73.69%) contented AM biomass was elected as the feed stock in this study. Pyrolysis experiment was done by a fixed bed reactor at 600°C and obtained 42–55% bio‐oil yield. Investigation of bio‐oil by GC/MS and FTIR established the occurrence of methyl, ester, alkanes, ketones and oxygenated chemicals have been alternates for fossil fuels. SEM and EDX analysis of bio‐char exposes activated carbon and ensured that biochar can be used in the waste water treatment plant, solid fuel, organic fertilizer, and natural mosquito destroyer. According to GC analysis, the presence of CH4, H2, and C2H6 evolved syngas in AM pyrolysis process can be used C.I engines at dual fuel mode operation. An engine test reveals that adding of the pyrolysis oil diminished BTE (%) and increasing BSEC (MJ/kWhr). However, increasing bio‐oil ratio blend with diesel reduces hazardous emissions like CO, HC, NOx, and smoke in the exhaust. Based on engine results, it was proposed that equal to 20% of AM bio‐oil can be used as a fuel substitute for diesel engines. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13116, 2019

Exergy analysis of a diesel engine fuelled with Aegle marmelos de‐oiled seed cake pyrolysis oil opus

“…The higher BTE of 22.87% is detected in F20 fuel with peak W, which is 21.28% for F0. This is because of the enhanced atomization and enriched air/fuel mixer ratio, which creates the enhanced combustion of fuel molecules 2 . When compared to previous pyrolysis oil studies ( Calophyllum inophyllum pyrolysis oil blends, 3 mahua pyrolysis oil blends, 38 jatropha pyrolysis oil blends, 39 jatropha methyl ester + tyre pyrolysis oil, 40 and n‐pentanol+ Calophyllum inophyllum blends 37 ), F20 spectacles lower BSFC value.…”

“…This may lead to the depletion of fossil fuel resources. Diminishing fossil fuel resources and increasing prices, as well as continuously increasing concern over energy security, environmental degradation, and global warming, have been recognized as the greatest influential environmental ecosystem 2 . Biodiesel has many environmentally beneficial properties.…”

Synthesis of Magnetic Carbon Nanotubes (Mag-CNT) by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Method and Modification for CNT/Epoxy Resin Composite Filler

“…The appearance of the C-N group on the modified CNT was found at 1227 cm -1 [17]. At 3500-3700 cm -1 indicated the presence of N-H present in purified and modified CNTs [18]. The addition of TiO2 resulted in the appearance of Ti-O absorption at 504 cm -1 [19].…”

Investigation on emission, performance, and combustion distinctiveness of bael seed cake pyrolysis oil/nano biochar/diesel blend fuelled in a compression ignition engine

“…9 Pyrolysis is the most favorable technique for biomass into useful energy conversion and this is the only method where we can derive three different kinds of products such as bio-oil, biochar, and syngas among other thermochemical conversion processes. 11,12 The plantation and soil conditions greatly influence biomass prominence. The biomass qualities and quantities are based on biomass characteristics and pyrolysis behavior.…”

“…Compared to all classes of biomass materials, agricultural residues receive the greatest attention for producing a bioenergy, because of these kinds of residues does not have any market value, easy to transport and storage, abundant availability, and waste landfilling materials 9 . Pyrolysis is the most favorable technique for biomass into useful energy conversion and this is the only method where we can derive three different kinds of products such as bio‐oil, biochar, and syngas among other thermochemical conversion processes 11,12 .
