Catalytic Deoxygenation Derived from Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Shell

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work aimed to prepare the bio-oil with low oxygen content via two-step process involving pyrolysis and catalytic deoxygenation. The raw bio-oil was produced from the pyrolysis of oil palm shell in a screw pyrolyzer with a heating rate of 25°C/min. Then, 10 ml of obtained bio-oil with 54.5 % (w/w) of oxygen content was upgraded by catalytic deoxygenation carried out in a fixed-bed reactor containing 20 g of NiMoS/-Al2O3 catalyst under nitrogen atmosphere. When the temperature in the reactor reached to the target point, the bio-oil was dropped by using a syringe pump at a constant flow rate of 0.2 ml/min. The results indicated that this process was efficient to reduce the oxygen content in the bio-oil to 11.5% (w/w) when the reaction temperature was 500°C
