【 摘 要 】

The pyrolysis oil has been produced from the areca tree, available in Assam (India), using a fixed bed reactor along with the investigation of some physical properties such as calorific value, density, viscosity, water content, oxygen content, flash point, fire point, pH value etc. The effect of pyrolysis products i.e. liquid and char with the temperature has been analysed. The variation of viscosity and density of the bio-oil were investigated at five different temperatures and the maximum viscosity and density were found as 12.15 cSt and 1009.3 kg/m 3respectively. The particle size of the biomass sample was taken around 2-2.8 mm. Before pyrolysis, the proximate and ultimate analyses of the feedstock were performed and the calorific value of the biomass was found as 13.2 MJ/kg whereas the calorific value of the pyrolysis oil was found as 15.2 MJ/kg. The chemical composition of the oil sample has also been investigated by the help of Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technique.
