Production of Bio Oil from Para rubber seed using Pyrolysis Process

摘要

Para rubber seed shell and residue were derived to be bio oil by pyrolysis process. There are studied parameters, seed shell particle were varied 2 sizes as 2.18 mm and 1.13 mm, pyrolyzed temperature were 300, 350, 400 and 450°C, Nitrogen flow were 50, 100 and 200 ml/min. At the conditions of seed shell particle was 2.18 mm, pyrolyzed temperature was 450°C and Nitrogen flow was 50 ml/min, the results showed the highest yield of bio oil as 38.22 while the charcoal and tar yields were 18.93 and 6.59, respectively. The results of fuel's analysis showed the heating value of synthesized bio oil was 22.11 MJ/kg, viscosity 2.071 cSt, pH 2.36 and flash point 70°C. Additional Para rubber residue showed the highest yield of bio oil as 34.35 while the charcoal and tar yields were 20.90 and 18.15, respectively. The results of fuel's analysis showed the heating value of synthesized bio oil from residue was 37.76 MJ/kg, viscosity 23.175 cSt, pH 7.88 and flash point 87°C.
