Intermediate pyrolysis of Ficus nitida wood in a fixed-bed reactor: effect of pyrolysis parameters on bio-oil and bio-char yields and properties

“…The most developed processes at a commercial scale are first-generation biofuels production and the heat/electricity co-generation through combustion technique. However, the other thermochemical conversion techniques, namely pyrolysis and gasification are experiencing a great development with various applications offering direct production of heat and/or electricity, biofuels and high valueadded chemicals [1,[9][10][11][12][13][14]. The pyrolysis process is a thermochemical conversion technique leading to the formation of three fractions: bio-oil (liquid), bio-char (solid) and syngas.…”

Intermediate Pyrolysis of Bambara Groundnut Shell (BGS) in Various Inert Gases (N2, CO2, and N2/CO2)

“…Another study of intermediate pyrolysis on red algal biomass revealed the maximum yield at 50 • C/min and 450 • C for bio-oil. The bio-oil, biochar, and gas yields were 45.02 wt.%, 33.34 wt.%, and 21.64 wt.%, respectively [5]. Intermediate pyrolysis has an excellent product distribution of biochar, bio-oil, and syngas and is more flexible for treating waste biomass [6].…”
