| Description |
Biomass is gaining attention as a renewable source of energy due to depleting sources of fossil fuels
and environmental considerations. Many Technological methods are us~d to convert biomass into
energy via thermo-chemical and biochemical processes. Pyrolysis converts biomass into liquid and
gaseous products.
The pyrolysis of biomass namely sugarcane bagasse and Calotropis procera of Indian origin was
studied in a fixed-bed reactor at different conditions. The parameters studied were particle size of
biomass feed (+8, -8 +12, -12, +16), temperatures (350 to 550°C) and flow rate (50 cc/min to 200
cc/min) of inert gas.
It is observed that the formation of liquid products is favored at lower temperatures and gas yield is
favored at higher temperatures. The physico-chemical characterization of pyrolytic liquid products is
reported.
