Improvement of bio-oil stability in wood pyrolysis process
… can be converted to a liquid known as bie-oil in 75% yield on dry feed. Bio-oil can be used as a fuel but has the drawback of having a high level of oxygen due to the presence of a complex mixture of molecular fragments of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin polymers. Also, bio-oil has a …

Genetic Studies on Lipoxygenase and Some Other Factors Possibly Associated With Soybean Oil Stability
… L-1 appears not to play a major role in oil stability. Heating soybean seeds increases the stability of the extracted oil. The increased stability of oil from heated seeds may be the result of increased phospholipid content, but is not related to changes in fatty acid composition, free …

Partial Upgrading of Bitumen Through Combinations of Deasphalting and Visbreaking
… the densest, most viscous components from the oil but would also remove too much of the valuable oil components to achieve pipeline specifications. Combinations of the two processes could reduce diluent requirements further. The goal of this thesis is to provide data and models to predict the …

Using bio-chars as potential catalysts for upgrading wood pyrolysis vapors
… process lignocellulosic biomass to produce bio-oil that can be further refined into chemicals and fuels compatible with current petrochemical fuels. However, bio-oils are highly reactive and unstable and therefore must be refined immediately, thereby reducing process sustainability. Catalytic …

Influence of wood on the pyrolysis of poultry litter
Pyrolytic oils produced from poultry litter differ in physico-chemical properties and the chemical composition. The litter is composed of manure and bedding material with traces of spilled feed and feathers. The type and amount of bedding material was varied to investigate its influence on the …
