EXTRACTION OF KARANJA OIL THROUGH PYROLYSIS AND ITS CHARCATERIZATION
Keywords:
pyrolysis, intermediate pyrolysis, biomass, bio-oil, bio-gas, TGA, FTIR, Proximate analysis, Calorific valueAbstract
Karanja oil has been used for medical purpose in rural areas for a long time. It was also used to lightlamps. This work studies the extraction of oil from karanja seeds through pyrolysis. Proximate analysisshows the content of moisture, and volatile content. The yield of bio-oil, bio-gas and bio-char depends upon the particle size of starting material and also the temperature of pyrolysis
