Abstract

In this paper comparative analysis of bio-oils and their subtraction from static, sweeping gas and steam pyrolysis of apricot pulp, a food industry waste, was investigated. Experimental studies were conducted in a well-swept fixed-bed reactor with a heating rate of 5 degrees C min(-1), to a final pyrolysis temperature of 550 degrees C. The oil yield which was 22.4% at the static atmosphere reached to the value of 23.2% in the sweeping gas atmosphere by using 100 cm(3) min(-1) N-2 flow rate. The yield of liquid product in steam pyrolysis was higher (27.2%) than the static and inert gas atmosphere.
