In this study, thermo-chem. decomposition of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) from municipal solid waste pre-treatment plant has been conducted in pyrolytic conditions. Due to high heterogeneity, individual RDF samples are not necessarily representative of the full variety of different components present. To overcome this, five different samples of RDF with varying compositions were treated in a rotary kiln reactor. RDF feed has been characterized based on the amount of biomass and plastic content. Product (oil & char) composition and quality were analyzed using different characterization techniques. It was observed that the quality of pyrolysis products varied with the feed composition and operating temperature Maximum oil yield of oil 43% was obtained from RDF containing 77% of plastics at 500 °C. This study showed that the interaction of RDF components has a major role in the pyrolysis oil composition The oil phase mainly consisted of n-aliphatic, branched aliphatic compounds and primary alcs. while, the aqueous phase consisted of organic acids, furans, methanol, phenols, and their derivatives along with ketones. At higher temperatures, the phenolic compounds decreased and the alc. content was found to increase. Using solvent extraction, phenolic compounds were extracted with hexane while, ketones and acids were extracted using acetone. With high plastic content (85%), the char yield reduced from 55% to 30% with increase in temperature Char samples consisted of different functional groups such as -OH and -COOH along with the micronutrients such as K, Mg and P, with pH in the range of 7.8-9.5 making it suitable for soil applications. Detailed chem. composition anal. of pyrolysis oil and char is the key to design pyrolysis process and evaluating its importance for producing the value-added chems.2-Hexyl-1-decanol (cas: 2425-77-6) were involved in the experimental procedure.
2-Hexyl-1-decanol(cas: 2425-77-6) is a branched alcohol. It is one of the constituent of the essential oil, extracted from the roots of Adiantum flabellulatum. Reference of 2-Hexyl-1-decanol
