“…The biomass was dried in a drying oven (Memmert, 100-800 model) for 24 h at 105°C to minimize the free moisture and then was sieved to the size range of 0.15-0.50 mm. By referring on our previous research review, smaller particle size favors higher pyrolysis reaction [20]. The materials are stored in an air-tight container.…”

“…wood) at high temperature in the range of 400–600 °C and short reaction time, in the absence of an oxidizing agent (Mohammad et al., 2014; Puttiphon and Sukritthira, 2014; Mazlan et al., 2015a, b; Narayan et al., 2017; Meheretu et al., 2019). Fast pyrolysis requires small particle size due to fast heating which informs the nature of bio-oil produced (Mazlan et al., 2014; Hyeon et al., 2010; Wasakorn et al, 2017). It could be deduced that pyrolyzing waste materials has a substantial economic value and could foster a cleaner environment (Nhlanhla and Edison, 2014; Kanyaphorn and Tanongkiat, 2015).…”

The Swietenia macrophylla wood used for the study was sun dried for about 48 h, pulverized using a hammer mill and then sieved to a particle size of about 425μm using Wiley milling machine. The prepared materials were pyrolyzed in a fixed-bed pyrolysis reactor in the temperature range from 425 to 500 °C. The product yields were collected at an interval of 25 °C. The maximum yield of bio-oil was recorded as 69.5wt.% at the pyrolysis temperature of 450 °C. The physicochemical properties and compositions of the feed materials and produced bio-oil were measured in order to quantify their potential for bio-energy use and industrial applications. The properties specifically measured include density, moisture content, ash content, pH, refractive index, cetane index, elemental composition, viscosity, and heating values. The ultimate analysis of the product showed that the contents of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur were 50.2%, 42.6%, 6.6%, <0.4% and <0.06% respectively. The viscosity, density, pH, moisture content, API gravity, ash content, HHV and LHV of bio-oil produced were found to be 4.6 mm 2 /s, 0.951 g/ml, 5.64, 21.4wt.%, 19.29, 0.15wt%, 29.52 MJ/kg and 28.08 MJ/kg respectively. These values were found to be in the ranges of values reported in the literature for bio-oils produced from biomass. The produced bio-oil had the much needed organic compounds typical of other woody biomass employed in commercial bio-oil manufacture. These compounds were classified into several groups; organic acids, ketones, phenols, alcohols, and aldehydes. The main components identified in the bio-oil are the aromatic and aliphatic compounds as well as carboxyl groups. The GCMS analysis of the product indicated the presence of 24 compounds which are useful as industrial chemicals and flammable gases: they include alkanes, alkenes, phenols, hydrogen, and levoglucosan. This study on bio-oil has demonstrated that mahogany wood is a useful biomass for the much sort potential fossil fuel substitute and finds vast application in the biofuel industry.

“…The biomass used in this work is the rubberwood residue (RWS) which is collected from a sawmill in Perak, Malaysia. The raw material was in the form of small particles and sieved to a size range of 0.15-0.50 mm as it favors higher pyrolysis reaction [15]. Prior to the experiment, the RWS was dried in a drying oven for 24 h at 105°C to diminish moisture.…”

Co-pyrolysis of rubberwood sawdust (RWS) waste and polypropylene (PP) was carried out at different temperatures (450,500,550, and 600°C) with biomass to plastics ratio 1:1 by using fixed bed drop-type pyrolyzer. The yield of pyrolysis oil has an increasing trend as the temperature increased from 450°C to 550°C. However, the pyrolysis oil yield dropped at a temperature of 600°C. Co-pyrolysis of RWS and PP generated maximum pyrolysis oil with 36.47 wt.% at 550°C. The result is compared with the pyrolysis of RWS only without plastics, with the same feedstock, and the maximum pyrolysis oil yield obtained was 33.3 wt.%. The water content in pyrolysis oil of co-pyrolysis RWS with PP is lower than RWS only with 54.2 wt.% and 62 wt.% respectively. Hydrocarbons, acyclic olefin, alkyl, and aromatic groups are the major compound in the pyrolysis oil from the co-pyrolysis process. Carbon monoxide (52.2 vol.%) and carbon dioxide (38.2 vol.%) are the major gas components.
