Distillation is an essential thermo chemical process; it mainly depends on temperature which affects mostly the product yield and composition. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of temperature on the characterization of bio-oil liquid fraction derived from palm kernel shell (PKS) bio-oil. The temperatures were 100 °C and 140°C. The higher heating value (HHV) obtained were 28.6MJ/Kg and 31.5MJ/Kg for bio-oil fraction 100°C and 140°C respectively. The GC- MS analysis determined that phenol is the dominant product in bio-oil fractions.

<p>Telah dilakukan uji aktivitas katalis CoMo/USY pada reaksi desulfurisasi tiofen. Reaksi dilakukan pada reaktor sistem batch dengan tekanan gas N<sub>2</sub> sebesar 1 bar gas N<sub>2</sub> dan waktu reaksi selama 1 jam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi temperatur dan variasi karakter katalis pada reaksi desulfurisasi tiofen. Product desulfurisasi dianalisis dengan GC-MS. Karakter kestabilan struktur katalis dilihat dengan analisis menggunakan instrument FT-IR. Hasil analisis terhadap uji aktivitas desulfurisasi menunjukkan bahwa pada rentang temperatur 200-300°C, rendemen bertambah dengan meningkatnya temperatur. Adapun efek karakter katalis terhadap aktivitas katalitiknya menunjukkan bahwa karakter katalis yang paling dominan adalah sifat keasaman. Katalis dengan keasaman tertinggi, yaitu katalis CoMo/USY, memiliki aktivitas tertinggi dalam desulfurisasi tiofen dengan rendemen produk sebesar 2,88%. Hasil analisis FT-IR terhadap katalis bekas menunjukkan bahwa struktur cukup stabil dan tidak ada pengotor yang terikat pada katalis.</p><p><strong>Catalytic Desulfurization of Thiophene </strong><strong>using</strong><strong> Como/Usy Catalyst </strong><strong>in</strong><strong> Batch Reactor</strong>. CoMo/USY catalyst activity has been tested for thiophene desulfurization reaction. The reaction was carried out in batch system reactor with N<sub>2</sub> gas pressure of 1 bar and reaction time for 1 hour. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature variation and catalyst character variation in thiophene desulfurization reaction. The desulfurization products were analyzed by <em>Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectra </em>(GC-MS). The characters of structure catalyst were analyzed by <em>Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy</em> (FT-IR). The results of the analysis of the desulfurization activity test showed that in the temperature range 200-300 °C, the yield raised with increasing temperature The analysis results of the desulfurization activity test showed that in the temperature range of 200-300°C, the yield raised with increasing temperature. The effect of the catalysts character on its catalytic activity shows that the most dominant character of the catalysts were its acidity. The highest acidity catalyst, CoMo/USY catalyst, has highest activity in thiophene thiophene with the product yield of 2,88%. The result of the FTIR analysis on used catalyst show that the structure was stable and no impurities were attached the catalyst.</p>

AbstractThis work aims at finding an alternative strategy to manage the waste generated by the winemaking industry to obtain a solid biofuel and phenolic compounds. The effect of temperature (180–260 °C), residence time (1–7 h), and biomass-to-liquid ratio (0.05–0.25) on the co-hydrothermal carbonization of vine pruning and exhausted grape pomace, by using vinasse as moisture source, is studied. The effect of the variables is investigated and optimized using the Box–Behnken design of response surface methodology to maximize mass yield, fuel ratio, energy densification yield and phenols extraction yield and to minimize energy consumption. The statistical analysis shows that the carbonization temperature is a crucial parameter of the process, decreasing the product yield on one hand and improving the quality of hydrochar on the other. At the optimal conditions (246.3 °C, 1.6 h, 0.066), an hydrochar yield of 52.64% and a calorific value of 24.1 MJ/kg were obtained. Moreover, the analysis of the H/C and O/C ratios of hydrochars demonstrates that carbonisation significantly improves the fuel properties of solid biofuel. Liquid by-products obtained from the HTC process are found to contain high concentrations of organic matter but the BOD/COD ratios suggest their potential valorization by biological methods.

Different approach to valorise the sweet sorghum using pyrolysis process to obtain valuable resources for energy production: bio-char, bio-oil and syngas are presented in the paper. In this study the influence of process parameters of slow pyrolysis on sorghum and straw were analysed. Temperatures used in the process varied from 400 to 800�C and heating rate parameter varied from 10�C . min-1 to 65�C . min-1. The experiments were conducted using a lab scale slow pyrolysis reactor with electric heaters, equipped with a thermo balance analyzer to collect data of pyrolysis process. The achieved product yield can vary significantly according to the slow pyrolysis parameters. The temperature influenced more on the bio-char yield compared to the heating rate parameter. The highest bio-char yield (over 35% weight,) was obtained at 400�C and heating rate of 10�C . min-1.

This work describes research on the isomerization of R(+)-limonene over the Ti-MCM-41 catalyst. The studies showed that the Ti-MCM-41 catalyst is an active catalyst in the isomerization of R(+)-limonene. As a result of the isomerization of this compound, it is possible to obtain α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene and p-cymene. Terpinolene is the main product of this process, and p-cymene is formed by the alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene and terpinolene dehydrogenation. The aforementioned products are of great practical importance. The most favorable reaction conditions leading to the obtaining of limonene isomerization products is the use of the catalyst in an amount of 15 wt% and the temperature of 160 °C. Depending on whether the desired products are the isomers of limonene (γ-terpinene, α-terpinene and terpinolene) or the product of their dehydroaromatization (β-cymene), it is possible to shorten or extend the reaction time. The method for the isomerization of limonene on the Ti-MCM-41 catalyst makes it possible to obtain a significant yield of both the limonene and p-cymene isomers. Longer reaction time is conducive to obtain larger quantities of other reaction products and less desirable products that constitute impurities (oxidized products and polymeric compounds).
