Bio-Oil Produced from Paper Waste and Paper Cup Using Pyrolysis Process

摘要

The objective of this paper is the utilization of waste into useful liquid products (Bio-Oil).Now a days there is need for alternative fuels due to the depletion of the existing fuels, biooil can serve this purpose. In this paper two waste materials have been chosen one is printing paper waste and other is paper cup waste for producing bio-oil. The printing paper waste and paper cup waste is coated with wax, when they are buried in the ground it take many years to get decomposed, by using pyrolysis process it can be disposed safely without causing any damage to the environment. Bio-oil can be produced from biomass in many ways such as digestion, fermentation, gasification and pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition process where the material gets decomposed by the application of heat and produces gases by cooling these gases bio-oil will be obtained. The biooil obtained from the waste has been tested using FTIR for identifying the groups present in the sample.
