The process is carried out in the presence of HZSM-5 at temperature of 500°C, 3bar pressure and oil/catalyst ratio of 15. It is observed that the properties such as pH, density, calorific value and elemental value of products are improved. The calorific value for upgraded bio-oil is 31.65 MJ/kg while for model bio-oil the value is 30.32 MJ/kg at same operating conditions. The degree of deoxygenation of the upgraded bio-oil and upgraded model bio-oil is 43.74 and 45.56 respectively. The study showed that the model bio-oil can be used to represent the bio-oil. © (2013)Trans Tech Publications,Switzerland. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials, CEAM 2013 ; Conference Date: 6 July 2013 Through 7 July 2013; Conference Code:100403
