Abstract
This study investigated the bio-oil production from vacuum pyrolysis of potential biomass feedstocks in Thailand. Experiments were carried out on palm empty fruit bunch, rice straw, rice husk, eucalyptus wood, rubber wood (Hevea Brasiliensis), and Teng wood (Shorea Obtuse) in a lab-scale-fixed bed reactor. The results showed that the product distribution was strongly dependent on temperature and biomass properties. Maximum oil yields, i.e., 50-60 wt %, were reached at 450-550ฐC. Due to mild temperature, most of alkalis originally present in biomass concentrated in product char, and only traces were detected in oil. Two-third of energy in biomass was in the product oil.
