Abstract:

Energy plays very important role in the progress of any nation because it is mandatory for transportation, industrial or agricultural progress, power production and several more diverse regions. The energy source including fossils fuels are inadequate and not capable to achieve the worldâ??s collective appeal of energy for a long period. Recently, due to social and economic benefits pyrolysis technology of thermo-chemical biomass transformation into biofuels i.e., bio oil, bio char and bio gas have been preferred. Biomass and its composition play an ultimate role in the determination of pyrolysis products. Catalytic pyrolysis is generally preferred over thermal pyrolysis because of several advantages like less retention time, low temperature, and high quality products. Bio-oil produced from pyrolysis process gained greater importance over fossil fuels. The thermochemical conversion of biomass into bio-oil provides clean fuel which is CO2 and greenhouse gases neutral. Additionally, forest biomass feedstock possesses negligible quantity of sulfur that results in no SOX emission. Another advantage of pyrolytic bio-oil that NOX emission reduced to 50% as compared to diesel oils in gas turbine. Hence, the generated pyrolytic biooils are cleaner, eco-friendlier and generate insignificant amount of pollution. Bio-char an economically feasible promising technology used for wide scale environmental applications for the removal or recovery of precious and heavy metal during wastewater treatment. Traditional technologies for the elimination of precious metals possess many limitations including costly setups, and incomplete removal along with the production of secondary toxic wastes. Additionally, bio-char limits emission of greenhouse gases in atmosphere, lower fertilizers requirement and reduce erosion. This study attempts to minimize hazardous impact of waste burning and poor-managements on human health and environment.
