PRODUCTION OF BIO-OIL FROM BANANA PEDUNCLE BY THERMAL CRACKING PROCESS

Abstract

Depletion of the conventional fuel has been increases day by day, due the more utilization and lesser production. As the world has to think the alternative way for the energy resources. At this situation search for an alternative fuel research has been increased. Among various researches the waste material into useful energy (gas, oil )has became an important research and various techniques were involved. Thermo chemical method is one of the techniques of convert the waste into useful energy. In this work Bannan peduncle (BP), which is consider as an agricultural solid waste. Bannan peduncle (BP) is considered as the raw material for the pyrolysis process. Based on the Thermo gravimetric analysis pyorlysis experiment is carried out find its maximum oil yield temperature. The other products during the pyolysis are char and gas. The pytoltyic oil is analysed by using FTIR to find the various components present in it.
