Application of central composite design for optimization of bio‐oil production using peat moss

Abstract Most nations have concentrated on reducing greenhouse gas emissions since global warming is such a serious problem. Due to land use changes, the harvesting of peat for as fuel in homes, and gardening industry, moss from bogs or fields may cause smoldering fires release quantities carbon dioxide. Bio‐fuel one alternative renewable sources created organic materials. Pyrolysis, thermochemical process that converts materials into substitutes fossil fuels used create biofuel because it readily available, straightforward, inexpensive implement. The feedstock utilized this experiment was moss. Proximate ultimate analyses were performed using thermogravimetric analysis elemental analyzer determine thermal breakdown characteristics. Pyrolysis carried out work prototype lab scale fixed‐bed pyrolysis. Based prior study, parameters are pyrolysis temperature, nitrogen flow rate reaction time central composite design model. According variance results, temperature significant, however not. effect response explored. actual bio‐oil yield achieved utilizing optimal 10.02 %. presence chemical compounds measured.
