Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass Mixtures in a Fixed Bed Reactor: Characterization of Bio-Oil Product

Abstract

In this work, pyrolysis was carried out at 650 °C for 1 hour under an inert nitrogen atmosphere in a fixed bed reactor to determine the bio-energy potential of the chicken manure. The thermal decomposition of chicken manure was investigated by a thermogravimetric analysis technique. Ultimate analysis, FT-TIR and ED-XRF techniques were used to characterize the raw materials. Techniques such as FT-IR and GC-FID have been used to characterize the liquid bio-oil product produced by pyrolysis of chicken manure. © 2019 Yildiz Technical University. All rights reserved.
