optimasi proses pirolisis biomassa kulit kayu a. cRASSICARPA menggunakan katalis nImO/nza dengan pendekatan rsm central composite design
The depletion of fossil energy sources and their environmental impacts have encouraged the use of renewable energy based on biomass. Acacia crassicarpa bark is a lignocellulosic waste from the forestry industry with significant potential as a feedstock for bio-oil production through pyrolysis. This study aims to optimize the bio-oil yield from the pyrolysis of A. crassicarpa bark using a NiMo/NZA catalyst through the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Central Composite Design (CCD). The parameters analyzed include pyrolysis temperature (400–500°C), catalyst concentration (2–6%), and reaction time (30–90 minutes). The results showed that temperature and catalyst concentration had a significant effect on the bio-oil characteristics, while time did not show a statistically significant effect. The RSM mathematical model obtained was: YBio-oil = 44.30 + 3.12A + 3.19B + 0.4562C + 0.5313AB – 0.0862AC + 0.2813BC – 3.18A² + 0.019B² – 1.16C², which demonstrated high predictive accuracy with an Adjusted R² of 0.9212 and a Predicted R² of 0.8650. Based on the optimization results, the optimal conditions were achieved at a temperature of 500°C, catalyst concentration of 5.1%, and residence time of 69 minutes, yielding 48.65% bio-oil with a desirability value of 0.861. The physical characterization under optimal conditions showed a viscosity of 19.06 cSt, density of 1.26 g/cm³, and calorific value of 22.89 MJ/kg. GC-MS analysis revealed that the dominant components in the bio-oil were acetone (26.26%) and acetic acid (23.24%), which are volatile compounds resulting from the decomposition of hemicellulose and lignin fractions. This study demonstrates that the NiMo/NZA catalyst is effective in enhancing the yield and quality of bio-oil and presents a promising green technology approach for the sustainable utilization of biomass waste.
