Pyrolysis of hornbeam shell ( Carpinus betulus L.) in a fixed bed reactor: Characterization of bio-oil and bio-char

Fast pyrolysis of Saccharina japonica alga in a fixed-bed reactor for bio-oil production

“…Another study investigating the pyrolysis of hornbeam shells by Morali and S ßensöz showed that the bio-oil yield increased from 22.90 wt% to 24.67 wt% when the gas velocity was increased from 50 to 100 ml/min. However, further increases in the fluidization velocity, from 100 to 150 ml/min, reduced the bio-oil yield from 24.67 wt% to 22.73 wt% [4]. A similar trend was also reported by S ßensöz and Angin [30].…”

“…Pyrolysis is widely used for the treatment of waste biomass materials for the production of bio-oil due to its reasonable cost and simple operation [2]. Various types of pyrolysis reactors have been utilized for bio-oil production such as fixed-bed [3][4][5], bubbling fluidized-bed [6][7][8], vacuum [9,10], vortex [11], rotating cone [12], and free-fall [13][14][15] reactors. Whilst the pyrolysis of terrestrial biomass has received a great deal of attention using wood [7,16], agricultural crops, and their waste (including rice straw [17], corn stover [18], switchgrass [19], and palm fiber [20]), not as much research has been conducted on the pyrolysis of marine biomass.…”

Production of Solid Fuel Biochar from De-Oiled Seed Cake by Pyrolysis

“…The calorific value of mahua de-oiled seed cake increased from 19.97 to 26.43 MJ/kg. Similar trend were observed by Ugur Morali [10] on hornbeam shell residue. The biochar yield fell slightly with increasing temperature, the opposite seen for the non-condensable gases, due to the greater primary decomposition of the biomass at higher temperature, or secondary decomposition of the char residue have given rise to some non-condensable gaseous products that contributed to an increasing gas yield with the thermolysis temperature.…”

Bio-Char and Bio-Oil Mixture Derived From the Pyrolysis of Mesocarp Fibre for Briquettes Production

“…The structure of holes and shapes generated through pyrolysis on the surface of bio-char can be observed on SEM images. However, the production of volatile matter during pyrolysis are considered responsible for the new structure, which generated other adsorption sites for ions, space for nutrients and water holding in bio-char (Moral and Şensöz, 2015). It is reported that the porous structure of bio-char can describe its influence on soil water retention and adsorption ability.…”
