The purpose of this paper was to carry out microwave induced pyrolysis of oil palm biomass (shell and fibers) with the help of char as microwave absorber (MA). Rapid heating and yield of microwave pyrolysis products such as bio-oil, char, and gas was found to depend on the ratio of biomass to microwave absorber. Temperature profiles revealed the heating characteristics of the biomass materials which can rapidly heat-up to high temperature within seconds in presence of MA. Some characterization of pyrolysis products was also presented. The advantage of this technique includes substantial reduction in consumption of energy, time and cost in order to produce bio-oil from biomass materials. Large biomass particle size can be used directly in microwave heating, thus saving grinding as well as moisture removal cost. A synergistic effect was found in using MA with oil palm biomass.
本文旨在通过炭作为微波吸收剂（MA）进行油棕生物质（壳和纤维）的微波诱导热解。研究发现，微波热解产物（生物油、炭和气体）的快速加热和产率取决于生物质与微波吸收剂的比例。温度曲线揭示了生物质材料的加热特性，在 MA 的存在下，它们可以在几秒钟内迅速升温至高温。还介绍了一些热解产物的特性。该技术的优点包括大量减少从生物质材料生产生物油所需的能源、时间和成本。大颗粒尺寸的生物质可以直接在微波加热中使用，从而节省了研磨和除水的成本。研究发现 MA 与油棕生物质之间存在协同效应。
