Co-pyrolysis of Rice Husk with Underutilized Biomass Species: A Sustainable Route for Production of Precursors for Fuels and Valuable Chemicals

摘要: In this study, co-pyrolysis of rice husk with underutilized biomass, Napier grass and sago waste was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at 600 °C, 30 °C/min 5 L/min nitrogen flowrate. Two-phase bio-oil (organic aqueous) collected characterized using standard analytical techniques. 34.13–45.55 wt% total boil-oil yield recorded assorted biomass compared to pure risk 31.51 wt% yield. The organic phase consist mainly benzene derivatives higher proportion the oil from process relative pyrolysis individual while aqueous all cases predominantly water, acids, ketones, aldehydes, sugars traces phenolics. This study has demonstrated good approach towards increasing valorization single reaction step for production high grade bio-oil, which can be transformed into fuel valuable chemicals.
