| Popis: | This study investigates the yield and quality of bio-oil produced from catalytic and non-catalytic pyrolysis of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris using Ni supported zeolite (Si/Al = 30) prepared by two different methods, ion exchange (IE) and wet impregnation (WI) to examine the effect of catalyst preparation methods on the bio-oil quality. The experiments were also conducted to investigate the effect of different temperatures (300–600 °C) and catalyst to algae ratio (1:5, 1:2, 1:1 and 2:1) on the yield and quality of bio-oil. The results showed that catalytic pyrolysis using Ni supported zeolites produced high hydrocarbon, less oxygenated and acid compounds compared to non-catalytic pyrolysis. The catalyst preparation method did not affect the yield but had an effect on the bio-oil composition. The results obtained from this study are useful in developing the catalytic pyrolysis process to refine bio-oils for commercial use. |
