Abstract:
This study investigated pilot-scale autothermal oxidative pyrolysis at the Federal University of Uberlândia. Pine residue was used in three experiments conducted at temperatures of 500°C, 500°C, and 580°C respectively. One of the trials included purge recycle to enhance the inert gas concentration in the reactor. The results indicated liquid yields of 47.57%, 47.13%, and 53.48% for each experiment, respectively. Carbon percentage analysis suggested a potential increase of 15-20%, which could further optimize liquid recovery. Additionally, bio-oil analysis revealed a composition similar to traditional pyrolysis, indicating the feasibility of using biochar for applications beyond sustaining reaction heat.
