Study on Napier grass leaf (NGL), stem (NGS) and (NGT) was carried out. Proximate, ultimate structural analyses were evaluated. Functional groups crystalline components in the biomass examined. Pyrolysis study conducted a thermogravimetric analyzer under nitrogen atmosphere of 20 mL/min at constant heating rate 10 K/min. The results reveal that has high volatile matter, higher value, carbon content lower ash, sulfur contents. Structural analysis shows considerable cellulose lignin contents...
This study presents a report on pyrolysis of Napier grass stem in fixed bed reactor. The effects nitrogen flow (20 to 60 mL/min), and reaction temperature (450 650 °C) were investigated. Increasing the from 20 30 mL/min increased bio-oil yield decreased both bio-char non-condensable gas. resulted optimum was used subsequent experiments. Reaction temperatures between 450 600 °C yield, with maximum 32.26 wt% at oC decrease corresponding At °C, reductions yields recorded while gas increased....
The environmental impact from the use of fossil fuel cum depletion known oil reserves has led to increasing interest in liquid biofuels made renewable biomass. This study presents first experimental report on catalytic pyrolysis Napier grass, an underutilized biomass source, using ZSM-5, 0.3HZSM-5 and zinc exchanged zeolite-A catalyst. Pyrolysis was conducted fixed bed reactor at 600 °C, 30 °C/min 7 L/min nitrogen flow rate. effect catalyst-biomass ratio evaluated with respect yield...
Searching for alternative energy sources continues to grow in recent times due the fear of insecurity near future and environmental sociopolitical issues associated with use fossil fuel.Among renewable sources, biomass is only source that has carbon its building blocks which can be processed liquid fuel.In this study, pyrolysis oil palm residues (trunk, frond empty fruit bunch) was carried out a fixed bed tubular reactor under nitrogen atmosphere at 30 mL/min, 30˚C/min heating rate 600˚C...
Millet chaff constitutes one of the most abundant agro-residues in sub-Saharan Africa and its utilisation as a feedstock developing sustainable bioenergy solutions is very sketchy. This study presents first comprehensive physicochemical combustion characteristics millet via thermogravimetric analysis process simulation using Aspen Plus. The sample was collected assessed received for proximate ultimate analyses. results showed biomass has 71.25 wt%, 15.35 13.40 wt% 13.15 MJ/kg volatile...
Abstract Based on the current UK decarbonization policy, a general outlook potential routes for glass industry to achieve net‐zero is discussed and differentiation during specified. Biomass ash considered alternative raw material low‐carbon manufacture as it rich in certain advantageous components, chiefly network modifiers. Simple sieving processes were shown effectively separate impurities such S, Cl, C from some biomass ashes according particle size distribution. The concentration of...
This research provides a novel approach for the determination of water content and higher heating value pyrolysis oil.Pyrolysis oil from Napier grass was used in this study.Water determined with pH adjustment using Karl Fischer titration unit.An equation actual developed used, results were compared traditional method.The found to have between 42 64% moisture under same condition depending on properties prior pyrolysis.The an oildiesel mixture, 20 25 wt% mixture gave optimum stable results.A...
