Hola Joel podrías mandarme información? Quiero hacer pirolisis cómo proyecto casero personal

I like the words of precaution "Don't kill yourself". Overall, the process is quite intriguing for someone like me who is toying into producing pyrolytic liquids from coconut shells and husk for agriculture applications. Thank you for the clear-cut directions.

hello you all in this video we will fractionally distill the previously made pyrolysis oil as you can see the crude pyrolysis oil is nearly black in colour and has fine particles supendet in it , and some paraffines formed a small amount of gell at the botom of the char the distillation we performe is similar to the process used in the petrolindustrie to sperate the different hydrocarbons from each other therefore we fill the crude oil in a one liter two neck roundbottom flask at the end of the pouring you can see the solidified paraffines that formed a gell with some of the lighter hydrocarbons splashing in the funnel to get a better seperation of the hydrocarbons we install a short vigreux collum this collum works by enhancing the surface on which the gaseous hydrocarbons and the cold glas have contact the hydrocarbons condens in the collum and release their condensationenergie thus heating up the collum the so heated collum has a lower temperature than the mixture in the distillation flask, this leads to some reflux, reflux means that a liquid is evaporated and condenst back into the evaporation flask, on the so heated collum wall some of the hydrocarbons are evaporated again but this time the percentage of lower boiling hydrocarbons is higher then before, this happens all along the collum and sperates the lower boiling from the higher boiling hydrocarbons presence the water present is most likely do to insufficient inertisation of the reaction chambers atmosphere which leads to oxygen reacting with hydrocarbons to form water, this in term has to reasons, number one is that i may have used to little carbon dioxide to get rid of remaining oxygen from the air, and the second is that the sealing i am using is not realy made for this purpose and that air could get in the chamber through the ISOTHERM sealing rope there is a considerable amount of gases dissolved in the pyrolysis oil which can be seen at the adapters of the distilling spider, these gases are driven out of solution during the distillation do to the decreased solubility in hot solution the second fraction was set from sixty five to eighty five degrees C, so when the temperature needed was reached the collection flask was switched again, as you can see the way i am doing it is complicated and labour intensive, if i had had the right equipment the change of colection flasks would be just a matter of twisting the spider ninetee degrees the second fraction is a lot more cloudy and has a yellow colour to it which shows us that the composition of the two fractions we already collected differs quite a lot the third fraction from eighty five to ninety five degrees celcius has to separate phases, with a upper hydrocarbon and a lower water layer at around one hundret and sixty degrees decomposition reactions occur in the distillation flask indicating that the non heat treeded pyrolysis oil is not stable the distillation was stopped when the decomposition occured and the flask was swapped again to save the third fraction here you can see the different fractions and how they vary from each other in water contend and colour, all of these fractions were dryed by first separating the organic and the water layer and then stirring the organic phase with tenn cubic centimeters of three angström molecular sieves to yield nice and clear hydrocarbon fractions which will be shown in a later video, here are all the datas i collected about these fractions the distillation residue was transfered into a storage vessel and will be processed later have fun and do not kill your self

I love the concept of using trash to make fuel!!!!!

A lot of the problem here is getting laymen to understand the process. If someone knowledgeable were to give classes in this to people, for instance farmers then you would be able to get them schooled well enough to start either building these machines or perhaps to simply buy one already built. Getting peoples hands on the equipment under trained supervision so they could understand how it all works would go a long way to getting this from the lab to the field. But you have to be willing to work with that human factor otherwise stuff like this is just fodder for someones stash of old USB drives gathering dust in a drawer or a few people with the skill to build such a system. It is an idea worth pursuing for sure , if a farmer or who ever else could just go out picking up plastic when he wanted to fill his gas tank that would be a very good thing for all of us.

I have a gut sense that you could obtain hydrocarbure in a fairly small range of combustion points if you control the output of the boiling chamber. I am thinking you could use a spring pressed kind of lid that would prevent the gas from exiting the boiling chamber until a certain pressure is present. If the source of heat is constant, I think this will also translate in a fairly small range of HC chain lengths that reach the condensation phase. Keep that pressure up until everything is burned, then leave the gas flow freely, driving the condensed fluid somewhere separately. The small amount that is condensed last and is not regulated by pressure can be used in the next batch.

If you can make a cut that is oily but not thinner than diesel you have a solid alternative fuel for diesel engines. Thicker than diesel and thinner than clean veggie oil and you should be good, so long as the flash point is not to low.

Nice to see this process, great job

You are right those people must understand when making these tips of videos you must be acuity when demonstrated and must be vary thrall an communicated the process

Essentially what you have is a crude oil so is it possible for this oil to be shipped to a oil refinery for purrification and if so is it possible to industrialize this process

For a little makeshift setup, do you think the yield would be affected if the reflux column and Liebig condenser were made from copper or stainless steel? I would think as long as there isn’t any sulfuric or hydrochloric acid byproducts it would be fine. PVC and other compounds containing chlorine would need further treatment before coming in contact with the stainless (and to prevent chlorine gas production). That said, will a stainless or copper condenser work?

So for the laymen out there, what is the end result of the liquids from the different temperatures? Like is one diesel, regular then premium? Etc?

So are you telling me that through fractionally distilling crude pyrolysis oil you can not only produce fuel, but also liquid water? Is this water safe and can it be separated, collected, and stored for consumption or other human use?

@johnsanchez8029

2 жыл бұрын

Water only created as a byproduct of the heating of atmospheric oxygen coming into contact with the hydrogen atoms attached to the plastics hydrocarbon structure. Not really practical to try and collect it because of how little is actually formed. Especially if the build is air leak proof and no CO2 is used in any stage at all, the likelihood of water formation on the product side of reaction will hardly exist. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here. But I am pretty sure that’s the case. Much love to all of my fellow chemists and physicists out there that are doing great things with their knowledge. More people need to study science and math instead of law and business. No great empire of the past has ever lasted. And when democracy fails and oil production screeches to a halt, all of your business and law degrees will only be good for wiping your asses with. Take advantage of this free knowledge while you can because sooner than later, we will experience an oil crises and things will never be this way again. They addicted us to energy and it f**ked us real good in doing so.
