@article { , title = {H2 enriched fuels from co-pyrolysis of crude glycerol with biomass}, abstract = {Pyrolysis of glycerol has been identified as a possible route for producing high added value fuels like renewable hydrogen (H 2 ). Crude glycerol (CG) is the main byproduct of biodiesel industry and without purification it is a low added value material due to the presence of impurities. Co-pyrolysis of CG with biomass may improve the efficiency of the process and as a primary step of gasification give important information concerning the maximization of H 2 concentration in the produced gas. Moreover, the thermochemical treatment of crude glycerol-biomass mixtures may offer several economic and environmental advantages in biodiesel industry and reduce the cost of biodiesel production. A mixture of CG with olive kernel (OK) was used as pyrolysis feed material. Pyrolysis of a 25 wt\% mixture of CG with OK at high temperature (T = 720°C) seemed to promote steam reforming reactions leading to an increase of H 2 concentration of 11.6 vv\% in the pyrolysis gas in comparison to H 2 in gas obtained by low temperature pyrolysis (T = 520°C). © 2012 Elsevier B.V.}, doi = {10.1016/j.jaap.2012.05.011}, issn = {0165-2370}, journal = {Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis}, pages = {198-204}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Elsevier}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/518021}, volume = {97}, keyword = {Specialist Research - Other, Crude glycerol, Biomass, Pyrolysis, Hydrogen, Biodiesel, Enriched fuels}, year = {2012}, author = {Skoulou, V.K. and Manara, P. and Zabaniotou, A.A.} }
