Abstract

Pyrolysis is one of the effective ways to convert biomass into energy and value added products. No comparative study has been done till date about the oil palm shell OPS and empty fruit bunch EFB bio-oils using various pyrolysis techniques. This includes fluidized bed fixed bed rotating cone microwave and others. Thus the main objective of this paper was to analyze the characteristics of OPS and EFB bio-oils obtained from this processing technique. Temperature was found to be the key parameter for the quality of bio-oil. Overall chemical analysis of OPS and EFB bio-oil through GC-MS has shown variation in the amount of phenol and its derivatives. In conclusions pyrolysis process has the potential for scale-up to commercial level in order to obtain fine chemicals such as phenol.
