Co-pyrolysis of rice straw and empty fruit bunch: Effects of blending on product yields and bio-oil composition

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate how blending rice straw and empty fruit bunch during co-pyrolysis impacts product yields and bio-oil composition.
• Conducted co-pyrolysis experiments with varying blend ratios of rice straw and empty fruit bunch.
• Analyzed the yields of bio-oil and char produced from different blends.
• Examined the composition of bio-oil for different blend ratios.
• Higher blend ratios of rice straw resulted in increased bio-oil yields.
• The composition of bio-oil varied significantly based on the feedstock blend, with unique chemical profiles.
• Co-pyrolysis improves the feasibility of utilizing agricultural residues for fuel production.
