(Peer review + Similarity) Effect of natural zeolite on biomass pyrolysis

Study the pyrolysis of biomass with the addition of natural zeolite to determine the
enthalpy required to become gas, oil, and char. The materials used were Sengon (S) sawdust and
natural zeolite type Clipnotilolite (Z). The pyrolysis process used STA Iliensies PTA 1600. The test
samples S, S + Z1, S + Z2, and S + Z3 were heated at a heating rate of 20
0
-1
C min
and an air flowrate
-1
(Argon) of 0.5 liters min
. The result shows that the enthalpy of pyrolysis S decreases with the
increase of Z. The greater the percentage of Z the decrease in enthalpy is getting sharper, while the
decrease in mass is relatively small.
