Evaluation of the Thermal Stability of Biofuel Obtained from Oil Plant Pyrolysis and Animal Fat

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study reports obtaining biofuel by pyrolysis of plant oil and animal fat. This process consists in breaking of molecules at high temperatures, obtaining hydrocarbons, similar to oil, and oxygenates such as esters, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, etc. The research aimed to evaluate the thermal and kinetic behaviour and the heat of combustion of bio-oil and bio-oil mixtures / diesel oil. In this work, Thermogravimetric studies were performed (TG) at a heating rate of 10 ° C min-1 under air atmosphere synthetic, Thermodynamic studies (ΔH, ΔS and ΔG) and about heat of combustion also were done. Thermal stability at 30°C was observed from thermogravimetric study. The kinetic calculations were performed in order to observe parameters such as activation energy (Ea) and Arrhenius factor.
