Fast pyrolysis was carried out in a fluidized bed reactor of 108 mm in internal diameter operated at 450 � using three different sizes of palm kernel shell (0.325, 0.75 and 1.5 mm). In specific the effect of biomass size on the yields of known and unknown organics in bio-oil was mainly investigated. The major organics include acetic acid, phenol and furfural. The minor ones include 2-methylphenol, 4-methylphenol, 2-methylnaphthalene, benzene, toluene and tetrahydrofurane (THF). Smaller biomass sizes were favorable for higher bio-oil yields. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914146280&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.625.608&partnerID=40&md5=c4746b8c537d7018d117d09fa1c3edc7 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.625.608 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 625 pagerange: 608-611 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351818 issn: 16609336 citation: Uemura, Y. and Norizan, A. and Afif, H.A. and Osman, N. and Omar, W.N. and Abdullah, B. and Tsutsui, T.
