tailieunhanh - Fractions composition study of the pyrolysis oil obtained from sewage sludge treatment plant

In this work the parameters of Low Temperature Conversion – LTC were applied in a centrifuged sludge from a sewage treatment plant located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before the conversion, the sludge was dried and analyzed by TGA to observe its behavior with increasing temperature. | Bioresource Technology 103 2012 459-465 Contents lists available at SciVerse ScienceDirect Bioresource Technology ELSEVIER journal homepage locate biortech Fractions composition study of the pyrolysis oil obtained from sewage sludge treatment plant .

Before the conversion the sludge was dried and analyzed by TGA to observe its behavior with increasing temperature. The chemical composition of the crude pyrolysis oil was analyzed by FTIR 1H NMR and GC-MS. The results showed that the oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons oxygenated and nitrogenated compounds. Using a catalytic treatment it was possible to fractionate the oil where the predominant constituents were hydrocarbons showing that the cracking was effective. An important result was the difference between the calorific value of dry sludge 10 MJ kg 1 the pyrolysis oil 36 MJ kg 1 and one of the fractions separated by catalytic cracking 40 MJ kg 1 when compared with commercial diesel 45 MJ kg 1 . 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
