  Optimal Generation of Renewable Energy from Non-Edible Biomass via Pyrolysis
  Author(s): Maryam Kahlid*
  
  Pollution in the environment and reduced fossil fuels supply urges to use non-edible biomass as renewable source of energy. Plant waste is observed more environmentally friendly than fossils fuels as renewable, sustainable and efficient biomass resource. Pyrolysis is one of the thermo chemical processes most effective for waste into energy product conversion and is an evolving technology. In present research, the pyrolysis of non-edible biomass (peach seeds and seed kernels) was performed to confirm its potential for renewable energy production. The maximum yield of Peach seed bio oil was 51% obtained at 550°C temperature while the maximum yield of Peach seed kernel bio oil was 41.5% obtained at 450°C temperature, 1mm of particle size, 90 min of reaction time and 200 cm3/min of nitrogen rate of flow. Bio oils obtained after pyrolysis process were a.. Read More»
