Investigation of the Parameters on the Fast Pyrolysis of Barley Waste spent grains in a Fixed Bed Reactor for the Production of Bio-Oil

Abstract

Waste material is the most abundant, cost-effective, and easily accessible renewable source of energy. The most frequent technique of garbage disposal, which includes landfilling and incineration, contributes to the degradation of both the land and the air. Pyrolysis of waste material results in the production of biofuels such as solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, while at the same time reducing the amount of air pollution produced. The barley waste discarded grains are the primary subject of this investigation, with an emphasis placed on the effect that key variables have on the fuel that is recovered. Temperature was discovered to be the most important variable in this process, and researchers determined that the ideal temperature range to be between 550 and 650 degrees Celsius. It was discovered that the product oil that was obtained was comparable to furnace oil and that it could be utilized as an alternative fuel.
