Studies on co-cracking of jatropha oil with bagasse to obtain liquid, gaseous product and char

摘要: Abstract Co-cracking of jatropha oil (JO) and bagasse was investigated under TGA conditions. The different heating rates 5 K min−1, 15 K min−1, 25 K min−1 35 K min−1 the nitrogen (N2) atmosphere were used. Flynn–Wall–Ozawa, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) Friedman models employed to study kinetic analysis samples. main components degradation for cracking co-cracking JO + Bagasse take place in three steps/phases as observed from DTG curve even KAS curves. reactions carried out a fixed bed tubular batch reactor results indicate presence interactions among reactive intermediates JO Bagasse. synergism process yield gaseous products char. liquid product obtained aliphatic nature. deoxygenation, decarboxylation, decarbonylation taking during resulted removal oxygenates co-cracked liquids. GC–MS indicated alkanes (47%). consisted methane, n-pentane, n-butane, 2-methyl butane certain uncondensed components. chars contained metals such Mg, Al, Fe, K etc. feasibility utilization liquid, solid fuel source observed.
