Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Thermal Liquefaction of Olive Tree Pruning Waste Into Bio-Oil in Water and Ethanol With Naoh Catalyst(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Öcal,B.; Recepoğlu,Y.K.; Yüksel,A.In this study the effect of catalysts and solvents at varying temperatures on the production of bio-oil from olive tree pruning waste (OPW). The thermal liquefaction process was conducted at 200 °C, 225 °C, and 250 °C for 90 min, employing either water or ethanol as solvents, with alkaline catalysts (0.125 M, 0.25 M, and 0.5 M NaOH) introduced for the first time. Raw material, solid byproducts, and bio-oil samples underwent FTIR analysis for structural changes, TGA for proximate analysis, and GC-MS for bio-oil analysis. Results revealed that NaOH enhanced biomass conversion in water, yet didn't increase bio-oil yield, whereas in ethanol, biomass conversion was relatively lower, but bio-oil yield improved despite the adverse effects of catalyst. The highest biomass conversion (94 %) was achieved at 250 °C with 0.5 M NaOH, but the maximum bio-oil yield (25 %) occurred without a catalyst in water. Conversely, the highest bio-oil yield (55 %) was attained using ethanol without a catalyst at 250 °C. © 2024 Energy InstituteArticle Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 38Liquefaction of Waste Hazelnut Shell by Using Sub- and Supercritical Solvents as a Reaction Medium(Elsevier, 2019) Demirkaya, Emre; Dal, Orkan; Yüksel, AslıDirect thermochemical biomass degradation to obtain bio-oil by using organic solvents is not a new process type, and it has some advantages over hydrothermal liquefaction technique. However, up to our best knowledge, in this study, hazelnut shell decomposition by using ethanol, acetone and their mixtures at sub/supercritical conditions was studied for the first time in literature. Experiments were carried out between 220-300 degrees C, at three different reaction times (30, 60 and 90 min) for five different solvent ratios. Highest solid conversion achieved at 300 degrees C by using pure ethanol was 64.2%, whereas highest bio-oil yield was found as 44.2% at 300 degrees C with 50/50 (EtOH/Ac: v/v). Ethanol and acetone showed different characteristics during the reactions and their effects on the conversion and bio-oil yield were discussed. Statistical analysis showed that time, temperature, ratio and synergy between temperature-time were affecting parameters for the conversion and bio-oil yield. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
