Abstract
Rice husk is a promising candidate of sustainable biomass-based renewable energy source with a gross caloric content of around 19.73 MJ/kg. As an efficient thermo-conversion process, pyro-gasification has the potential to convert biomass into oil and gas fuels. However, the bio-oil and gas yields are strongly dependent on the pyro-gasification operating parameters. This study employed response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) experiment to determine the optimum conditions for pyro-gasification of rice-husk. Three selected most influencing operating parameters, namely feed mass (g), nitrogen flow (mL/min), and reactor temperature (°C) were optimized through 16 individual experimental runs for their possible synergistic effects. The results show excellent model fitting criteria (R2 > 0.9 and R2-adj > 0.85) for bio-oil and gas product responses that proves the suitability of RSM based on CCD experiment for rice-husk pyro-gasification study. The optimized optimum condition for rice-husk pyro-gasification process was at 897 g of feed mass, 1.97 mL/min of N2 gas flowrate, and 593 °C of reaction temperature. These conditions allow the achievement of estimated bio-oil and gas product yield of 47.78% and 11.41%, respectively. The composition analysis revealed that the main component of bio-oil was C15 (unsaturated), whereas the gas products were C3–C4 . This study suggests that rice-husk pyro-gasification is capable to achieve maximum yield of bio-oil and gas products with low char generation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
