Abstract
This study investigates the production of hydrocarbon-rich bio-oil through microwave co-pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse (SB) and digestate derived from the anaerobic digestion of poultry litter (PD). The synergistic effects of co-feeding these two untreated feedstocks for a waste-by-waste treatment approach were evaluated under microwave pyrolysis conditions, with a focus on enhancing the yield and quality of the resulting bio-oil. A range of catalysts, including biochar, Fe-supported biochar, HZSM-5, acid-treated HZSM-5, and CaO, were employed to assess their influence on hydrocarbon content and product distribution. The results revealed that co-feeding of 50:50 for SB and PD (S50P50) produced the highest bio-oil yield, which was higher by 10–22 % than single feeding. Also, the highest hydrocarbon content in the bio-oil (32.5 %) was found under the S50P50 condition with fewer oxygen-containing components. Under acid-treated HZSM-5 catalyst, the highest hydrocarbon was detected in the bio-oil (41 %) overall catalysts and non-catalytic conditions. Overall, the findings demonstrate that microwave co-pyrolysis of optimal feeding ratio (S50P50), especially in the presence of an effective acid-treated HZSM-5 catalyst, is a promising route for converting these untreated residues into high-quality bio-oil suitable for fuel applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
