Thermo-catalytic decomposition of cotton seed press cake over nickel doped zeolite Y, hydrogen: enhanced yield of bio-oil with highly selective fuel-range hydrocarbons.

ABSTRACT: This research reports the yield of bio-oil from cotton seed press cake (CSPC) via an optimized thermo-catalytic pyrolysis using nickel impregnated zeolite Y, hydrogen catalyst. The catalyst, raw biomass and catalyst impregnated biomass were characterized using different analytical techniques. The ideal temperature, duration, and catalyst concentration for pyrolysis experiments were determined to be 300 °C, 20 minutes, and 5% of Ni-doped zeolite Y, hydrogen, respectively, in order to achieve the best bio-oil yield (35%). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of pyrolytic bio-oil depicted the presence of C₂-C₂₆ hydrocarbons. The findings of this investigation showed that the synthesis of bio-oil with highly selective fuel-range hydrocarbons could be effici
