ABSTRACT:
Background: Orange and lemon peels are a type of biomass waste, as
the demand for the production of these citrus species and their use in
various food industries leads to their significant accumulation in the
form of waste. This study was designed so that this waste is recycled to
be added to diesel fuel and to verify its suitability as a composite fuel.
Method: This study aimed to investigate the thermal combustion
behavior of lemon peel powder, LPP, and orange peel powder, OPP
biomass composite fuel diesel. The citrus peel was dried and ground to
a powder material of 450-750 μm in size, then mixed in different
percentages with diesel fuel. Different parameters were controlled to
improve the composite fuel characteristic. The pyrolysis experiments of
the diesel/citrus composite fuel were conducted in an internal
combustion engine.
Results: The results showed that the citrus/diesel composite fuel
sustains its combustion properties at 30% of the added citrus peel
powder, with a reduction of harmful emissions. The results showed
that calorific values of diesel containing 30% LPP or 15% LPP + 15%
OPP were very close to that of pure diesel. The maximum calorific
values were obtained at α = 0.85, 0.80, and 0.90 for 30% OPP, 30% LPP,
and 15% OPP + 15% LPP composite fuels respectively. It was found
that the addition of homogenization material and combustion activator
to the composite fuel raised the maximum temperature of combustion
by 230 °C, 200 °C, and 330 °C for 30% OPP, 30% LPP, and 15% OPP +
15% LPP respectively. The TGA analysis of lemon and orange showed
that the weight loss has proceeded in three stages, the first at 150°C –
200 °C due to water evaporation, the second at 400 °C due to hydrolysis
of cellulose and hemicellulose, and the third at 600 °C due to
combustion of fuel material forming carbon residue.
Conclusion: The composite fuel without additives showed the highest
combustion temperature at about 600 °C, while the maximum
combustion temperature for the composite fuel with additives was
achieved at 800 °C at a shorter time.
