PYROLYSIS OF CHESTNUT SHELL AND CHARACTERİZATION OF OBTAINED PRODUCTS
Abstract :
In this study, chestnut shells was pyrolyzed in fixed bed reactor. The effects of pyrolysis temperature, heating rate and sweep gas flow rate on the yields of products were investigated. As a result of the experiments, the maximum bio-oil yield of 18.70% was obtained with the heating rate of 50 ˚C min^-1, at the pyrolysis temperature of 400 ˚C and sweeping gas flow rate of 150 cm³ min^-1. The FTIR and elemental analyses and heating value determination of the obtained the bio-oil were also performed. The obtainedbio-oil was separated into its hydrocarbons and polar compounds in column chromatography. The aliphatic sub-fraction was characterized by GC-MS. In addition, the BET surface areas of the raw material and the solid product were determined and the SEM images of the solid product were taken.
