Effects of Heat Transfer Media on Bio-Oil Yield from Sugarcane Leaves
Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of hot nitrogen flow rate and heat transfer media on bio-oil yield from sugarcane leaves using fast pyrolysis process. Results showed that the optimum hot nitrogen flow rate and heat transfer medium were 7 L/min and sand, respectively, which gave a maximum bio-oil yield of 53.83% by weight and also showed that too high or too low rates of the nitrogen flow influenced the bio-oil yield. The properties of bio-oil studied were solids content, density, pH and ash content. The solid content of the bio-oil obtained with sand as a heat transfer medium was lowest. This is corresponding to the ash content. Keywords : bio-oil, sugarcane leaves, heat transfer media, fast pyrolysisReferences
