Pengaruh Rasio Umpan Dan Suhu Terhadap Produksi Bio-Oil Dari Co-Pyrolysis Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (Tkks) Dan Low-Density Polyethylene (Ldpe)
ABSTRACT
Bio-oil is a dark brown liquid consisting of aliphatic, aromatic, alicyclic, and
heterocyclic compounds which have the potential to be liquid fuels. Bio-oil can be
produced from a mixture of biomass and synthetic polymers through the copyrolysis
process. Co-pyrolysis is a pyrolysis process that involves two or more
different materials as a feedstocks. Potential feedstocks for the production of biooil
are oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and low-density polyethylene
(LDPE). The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of feed ratio on
bio-oil yield, determine the effect of temperature on bio-oil yield and characterize
the physical and chemical properties of bio-oil. The co-pyrolysis process using
OPEFB and LDPE as feedstocks, the feed ratio (OPEFB/LDPE) was varied in
100/0, 75/25, 50/50 and 25/75, and temperature was varied in 400 C, 450°C, 500°C
and 550°. The results of this study showed that the best bio-oil yield obtained at
feed ratio of 25% OPEFB / 75% LDPE at temperature of 400°C was 63.2%. The
characteristics of physical properties such as density, viscosity, acidity and heating
value of the best bio-oil were 0.838 g/ml, 3.63 cSt, 3.81 and 35.3 MJ/kg. The
characteristics of the chemical properties of the best bio-oil from Gas
Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis obtained several dominant
chemical compounds such as furans, ethyl esters, primary alkohols, alkanes, and
alkenes. The results of this study indicate that the pyrolysis process between
OPEFB and LDPE has a positive synergistic effect that increases hydrocarbon
content and reduces phenol content in bio-oil.
