Abstract
The thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass coconut shell into pyrolytic oil (bio-oil/bio-tar) through intermediate pyrolysis has been considered in this study. It is a fixed bed pilot scale reactor heated externally with the help of electric heaters. The major end products with good yield are solid (bio-char), liquid (bio-oil) and gases. The optimum temperature is 575oC. The intermediate pyrolysis of coconut shell bio-oil/bio-tar was separated into SARA (Saturate, aromatic resin and asphaltene fractions by using the column chromatography with the combination of npentane, toluene and ethanol solvents. The SARA fractions were further characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and elemental analysis. © 2019, Toronto Metropolitan University. All rights reserved.
