Abstract

Emulsions were prepared using a mixture of bio-oil obtained from the pyrolysis of sawdust in an N2 environment and Quercus mongolica in a CH4 environment for both non-catalytic and catalytic cases. Both prepared emulsions were examined by measuring the physical stability and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The emulsion with HLB 5.8 (Span 80 and Atlox 4916) for the ratio of bio-oil (B-oil and C-oil): surfactant: diesel = 10%: 3%: 87% showed stability for 15 days. Combining oils produced in N2 and CH4 environments could be a potential solution for generating high-quality emulsions with a high heating value.
