Abstract

The utilization of biomass as a source of new and renewable energy is being carried out. One of the technologies to convert biomass as an energy source is pyrolysis which is converting biomass into more valuable products, such as bio-oil. Bio-oil is a liquid which produced by steam condensation process from the pyrolysis of coconut shell. The composition of biomass such as hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin will be oxidized to phenol as the main content of the bio-oil. Production of bio-oil from coconut shell was investigated via fast pyrolysis reactor. Fast pyrolysis was carried out at 500 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C and 1 hour holding time at pyrolysis temperature. The Bio-oil chemical composition was investigated using GC-MS. Percentage value of phenol, 2-methoxy phenol, 3-methoxy 1,2-benzenediol, and 2,6-dimethoxy phenol was 45.42%, 13.37%, 10.09%, and 11.72% respectively. durian leather [2], oak [3], corn cobs [4], powder / sawmills and wheat bark [5], jathropa [6], fruit pulp [7], coconut shell [8]. Coconut shell waste caused many problems in waste management that usually had been left to rot, stacked, and burned. Those handling will have a negative impact on the environment. One alternative that can be taken to overcome those problems are to convert it into valuable products with applicative and cheap technology so that the results are easily applied to the society. The aim of this research is to convert waste of biomass into new raw materials or products that have an economic value such as Bio-oil (as an alternative energy resources). This next research needs to be done to extract phenolic compounds as the main component of bio- oil which is corrosive, unstable and so difficult to be upgraded into ideal fuels [1]. Phenolic compounds are useful for disinfectant or floor cleaner. For the rubber industry, phenol is used to increase the quality of the rubber.
