Fig. 5 shows boiling point distributions of pyrolytic oils and their
comparison with petroleum fuel oils to provide basic information
that the obtained oils correspond to which petroleum fuel application.
Oils from palm and Jatropha wastes showed wide distributions
from 100 to 600 °C due to water removal. EFB showed a uniform
distribution with almost constant slope; JSC and PKS showed plateaus
at ca. 360 °C, implying that several compounds were highly
concentrated in the pyrolytic oil. In comparison with petroleum
fuel oil, the pyrolytic oils are in the range of diesel and heavy fuel
oil. Major portion of the JSC and PKS oils is expected to be shifted
possibly into the diesel range if they were deoxygenated for blending
with petroleum fuel oil.
