Thermocatalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Areca Nut into Renewable Fuel and Value-Added Chemicals.

ABSTRACT: Pyrolytic oil is currently in its early stages of production and distribution but has the potential to grow into a significant renewable energy source. It may be processed into a variety of useful substances, including chemicals, and used for heating, transportation, and energy production. The present investigation involves the production and characterization of pyrolytic oil from areca nut husk (ANH), with and without ZSM-5. The pyrolysis experiment was conducted in a semibatch tubular reactor at 600 °C and a heating rate of 80 °C min^-1 using ZSM-5 at 20 wt %. The pyrolytic oil was examined via elemental analysis, viscosity, density, moisture content, GC-MS, FTIR, higher heating value (HHV), and ash content. The analysis of kinetics verified that the activation energy rises in
