PRODUCTION OF FUEL-LIKE FRACTIONS BY FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION OF BIO-OIL FROM AçAí (EUTERPE OLERACEA MART.) SEEDS PYROLYSIS

Production of Fuel-Like Fractions by Fractional Distillation of Bio-Oil from Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) Seeds Pyrolysis

This work investigates the effect of production scales (laboratory, bench, and pilot) by pyrolysis of Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) seeds at 450 °C and 1.0 atmosphere, on the yields of reaction products and acid value of bio-oils.The experiments were carried out in batch mode using a laboratory scale reactor of 143 mL, a bench scale reactor of 1
