Soybean oil pyrolysis in a continuous bench-scale reactor for light olefin production
This study investigated the gas yield and its composition in different operation temperatures, giving special attention to light olefin production and oxygen content in soybean oil pyrolysis. The experiments were conducted in a continuous bench-scale reactor at steady state and isothermal conditions. Temperatures ranged from 500 to 600 ?C with constant feeding mass flow. The resulting bio-oil exhibited high acid and iodine indices, as expected. Biogas samples were collected and submitted to gas chromatography to determine the chemical composition. The results revealed that ethene and propene formation are intensified with temperature, reaching more than 30% values in the gas phase. Additionally, higher temperatures led to increased oxygen removal from the triglyceride.
