Key Strengths
  • Clear identification of biomass source
  • Use of GC-MS and IR for bio-oil analysis
  • Focus on a relevant alternative energy source
Areas for Improvement
  • Limited detail on the pyrolysis reactor setup
  • Lack of information on bio-oil yield and properties beyond composition
  • Unclear justification for the specific temperature profile used (25 to 650°C)
AI Recommendations

The manuscript should include more details about the pyrolysis reactor, including its type, dimensions, and heating rate. A table summarizing the bio-oil yield and key properties (e.g., density, viscosity, heating value) would be beneficial. The discussion should compare the bio-oil composition to that obtained from other algal species or pyrolysis conditions.

Abstract
In this work, Pyrolysis experiments of biomass of Scenedesmus & Spirogyra (SSB) were carried out in a pyrolysis reactor to detect different hydrocarbons and compounds present in SSB. GC MS analysis and IR has been done of bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis of SSB and a simple process of converting of algal biomass to bio-oil through pyrolysis is explained with the help of graphs and tables. The bio-oil was obtained in single step pyrolysis in which temperature of the system was kept 25oC and then increased up to 650oC time by time. Pyrolysis is a thermal process for converting various biomasses, residues and wastes to produce high-energy-density fuels. After pyrolysis the obtained bio-oil was introduced to fractional distillation and then analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and IR. Different hydrocarbons and other compounds were detected.
