Solar Thermal Pyrolysis of Karanja Seeds for a Sustainable Approach for Liquid Biofuel Utilization

Solar Thermal Pyrolysis of Karanja Seeds for a Sustainable Approach for Liquid Biofuel Utilization

The present study is based on the conversion from biomass to biofuels of karanja (Pongamia glabra) seeds via solar thermochemical pyrolysis process. Karanja seeds were pyrolysed at a cavity type reactor temperature of 280-340°C. The pyrolysis process was occurring in the range of 210-550°C. The ulti...
