Study on pyrolytic oil production from rice husk and hdpe plastic waste: a research

The main motivation of the current study is the bio-oil upgrading process. Bio-oil is clean and environment friendly, but its properties are inferior to that of petroleum based fuels. Many researchers have shown that co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic waste provides encouraging results For the co-pyrolysis process, plastics have been chosen as a co-feedstock due to their various advantageous properties, as it has good thermal stability than that of biomass, higher hydrogen and carbon content, plastic being manufactured from petroleum residue and having higher calorific value, which helps to improve the quality of product yield. The main interest to study the upgrading process, viz.co-pyrolysis of rice husk seed and plastic waste is to improve the quality of Mahua seed oil. This study also gives an idea about interaction of feed during co-pyrolysis and it helps to know how it improves the quality and quantity of the product yield. In this study, the obtained product yield from has been compared with co-pyrolysis yield and it shows their difference. The liquid product obtained from co-pyrolysis of is the main product, whereas the char and gas are byproducts. Co- pyrolysis has been carried out with respect to various operating conditions such as time, temperature, inert gas and residence time.
