ABSTRACT
Bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis is highly complicated mixture with valued chemicals. In order to
solvent extractions using different solvents with increasing polarity have been adopted. The
fractions have been analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for identifying
the functional groups and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), for detailed
information at molecular level of various components in bio-oil. This paper reveals the potential
of the analytical techniques in identification and brings out the similarities as well as differences
in the components present in the bio-oil obtained from two non-edible oil seed-cakes, viz.,

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Biomass provides an abundant, inexpensive and renewable resource for its application as
chemical feedstock for producing bio-oil and emerges as an attractive alternative to conventional
fuels. Gasification and liquefaction of biomass through pyrolysis route have emerged as key
thermodynamic processes for conversion of biomass to liquid bio-fuel. The pyrolysed oil or bio-
oil is considered as new low cost, clean and green bio-energy, and an attractive option in place of
conventional fuel in the aspect of reducing environmental pollution. Bio-oil has advantage of
transport, storage, combustion, retrofitting and flexibility in production and marketing [1].
Applications of bio-oil is limited because of high acidity (pH 2.5), high viscosity, low volatility,
corrosiveness, immiscibility with fossil fuels, thermal instability and tendency to polymerize on
exposure to air and oxygen. However, bio-oil can be upgraded to fuel and chemicals that fit in
our current fuel and chemicals infrastructure. Hydrotreatment is an effective way to convert
unsaturated compounds into some stable ones, but having an established catalyst for this process
is still a challenge. Some of the upgradation techniques are catalytic cracking, Steam reforming
bed system using several commercial as well as custom-made catalysts and obtained a hydrogen
yield of 70% [6]. Biomass contains varying amount of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, its
pyrolysis produces products that is sum of individual pyrolysis of the three components. Hence
the chemical nature of bio-oil is closely related to ratio of these components in biomass. Bio-oil
is a mixture of more than 300 compounds resulting from depolymerization of cellulose, hemi-
cellulose and lignin. Oxygen content and water content of bio-oil is in the range of 40-50% and
25-35% respectively. This results in low calorific value of around 16-18MJ kg-1[7-8]. It is
therefore necessary to get an insight of molecular composition of the crude pyrolysis oil and
4
upgraded products for optimizing the use of bio-oils, so obtained. Chemical composition of bio-
oil gives insight into its quality and stability. This information is crucial for development of
Molecular-level characterization of bio-oil has been studied using different analytical techniques
spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and classical elemental analysis
[9-10]. Bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis of empty fruit bunches (EFB) of palm fruit was
characterized for various functional groups, using FTIR spectroscopy. Phenols, alcohols,
ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, alkanes, alkenes and aromatics were identified in bio-oil
using characteristic IR stretching frequency in FTIR [11]. NMR spectroscopy has been used to
characterize fast pyrolysis bio-oils, energy crops and agricultural feedstocks [12].
GC-MS remains a preferred technique for the separation and identification of complex mixture
of components in bio-oil. Quadrupole GCMS has been used for characterization of bio-oil from
pyrolysis of switch-grass at different temperatures [13]. In the last decade comprehensive two
mass spectrometry (ToF-MS) with fast scanning abilities are used for separation and
identification of pyrolysis oil [14]. However, these instruments are expensive and spectral
libraries are fewer than for Quadrupole mass spectrometers. Moldoveanu et al. has developed a
direct pyrolysis technique for cellulose and identified more than 100 components with a
molecular weight range of 45 to 210 u including aldehydes, ketones, furans and other phenolic
derivatives [15]. Pyrolytic products from cellulose lignin and sewage were analyzed by 2D-GC-
ToF MS in the mass range of 40 to 300 u and over 1000 components have been identified and
further grouped into different classes [16]. Marsman et al has carried out orthogonal separation

Characterization of intermediate pyrolysis oils derived from sewage sludge (SSPO) and
delinking sludge (DSPO) from paper industry residue with a view to study their use as fuel in
diesel engine has been reported [18]. Most of the important physical and chemical properties of
the oil were analyzed and compared with conventional diesel and bio-diesel fuels by Yanik et al
[19]. Water insoluble fractions of pyrolysed oil from three agricultural wastes - corncob, straw
and oreganum stalks at 500 0C in a fluidized bed reactor were analyzed by GC-MS and liquid
chromatography (LC) by Tsai et al [20]. Another interesting study underlying the chemistry of
thermochemical conversion systems and several aspects of pyrolysis has been investigated using
1
free-jet molecular-beam mass spectrometric sampling (MBMS) [21]. H and 13C NMR
spectroscopy were used for the identification of functional groups and gauging the aromatic
carbon content in the bio-oil for aromaticity and functional groups in bio-oil from hydrothermal
liquefaction of organic waste and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
(FTICR-MS) having ultrahigh resolution and mass accuracy capability for describing aromatic
components [22]. Progressive extraction of bio-oil with various solvents based on solubility has
Seed-cakes after removal of oil from plant seeds is generally used as manure, fodder or fuel.
Seed-cakes can be converted to fuel, energy and chemicals by thermo chemical processes like
pyrolysis. The advantages of this process over other process like biochemical process are
products of jatropha waste, including husk, seed shell and branch have been investigated for
6
desirable organic compounds in the liquid and its characterization has been done using Py-
GC/MS [26]. An extensive liquid-liquid extraction approach has been adopted to separate the
components of bio-oil from jatropha curcas seed-cake and identification of components present
has been reported [27]. Although characterization of jatropha waste has been carried out,
detailed characterization of pyrolysed products of jatropha and karanjia seed-cake has not been
reported.
In the present study, pyrolysed bio-oil derived from Jatropha (JSCBO) and Karanjia seed-cake
bio-oil (KSCBO) have been fractionated by solvent extraction method using solvents of
increasing polarity in order to reduce the complexity of the oil for in-depth characterization of
components present in the extracted fractions. GPC analysis of the seed-cake and their fractions
were also analyzed by FTIR technique to identify the functionality and GCMS for detailed
components present in the individual fractions and further classified into classes depending on
2.0 EXPERIMENTAL
2.1 Pyrolysis:
Dried Jatropha and Karanjia seed-cake were crushed to particle size less than 1-2 mm in ball mill
and sieved. Thereafter the feedstock prepared was dried in oven at 100 0C to have moisture
content below 5%. The feed stock prepared was subjected to pyrolysis in a reactor of feed rate
of 20 kg/h. The pyrolysis was performed in temperature range of 460 to 500 0C. under nitrogen
atmosphere of flow 1-2 L/min for time period of 15-20 minutes. The pyrolysis experimental
conditions of temperature and time were optimized to obtain maximum bio-oil yield of ~30-40
wt. % biochar produced was in range of 40% and ~20% gas were produced. Two-stage cooling
was employed to obtain bio-oil with low moisture content. The bio-oil obtained under optimized
7
pyrolysis conditions had moisture content of 7-8%. Detailed physico-chemical property
2.2 Materials
JSCBO and KSCBO for this study were obtained from pyrolysis of their respective seed-cakes.
The solvents used for extraction of bio-oil components were hexane (Hex), benzene (Benz),
2 grams of pyrolysed JSCBO and KSCBO samples were filtered using steel strainer of pore size
0.8µm. The filtered sample was washed twice with demineralized water to bio-oil ratio at 10%.
The water wash was found to have traces of short chain acids like formic and acetic acid in
insignificant amount. The water-insoluble fraction was then extracted with multiple solvents
with increasing polarity. Hexane, benzene, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and methanol were
used for solvents extraction sequentially. The bio-oil was extracted sequentially twice with 30ml
of solvent in a ultrasonic bath for 20 mins for every solvent. The fractions were filtered with
Buchner funnel under vacuum. The water vapor from the filtrate sample was removed using
sodium sulfate. The filtrates were then carefully evaporated in rotavapor equipment to remove
the solvent. The evaporated sample fractions were weighed. The bio-oil fractions extracted in

separation of different molecular weight of bio-oils. Column temperature was maintained at 35 0
C during the whole chromatographic run and RI (refractive index) detector was used for
detection. 1% solution of bio-oil in tetrahydrofuran (THF, HPLC grade from Spectrochem) was
prepared and 100 µl volume was injected in the injector port. THF was used as mobile phase
with flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The GPC column was standardized using n-paraffin standards in
the range of 140-620 Da. The GPC data was processed using Omnisec software.
2.5 FTIR
FTIR spectra of bio-oil and their solvent fractions were recorded by placing small drop of the
sample on KBr plate. The acquisition parameters are wavelength range 4000-400cm-1,
resolution 4 cm-1, and 50 scans. Infrared spectrometer (DLATGS detector) IR Prestige-21 model
from Shimadzu Corp., Japan was used. Spectra were processed for base line correction, smooth
Analysis of bio-oil fractions were carried out on Autospec Ultima High resolution mass
spectrometer coupled with Agilent 6890N Gas Chromatograph. The mass spectrometer was
tuned for experiments in the mass range of 50 to 500u. Perfluorokerosene (PFK) was used as
reference compound for calibration of masses. The magnet scan was set at 0.5 seconds/ decade
and interscan delay of 0.1 second. Ionization of samples in the mass spectrometer was carried
out using electron of 70eV. Data acquisition and processing were done using OPUS 3.6V
software and NIST mass spectral library was used for identification of components in the
samples.
Capillary column DB5 (30m x 0.25mm id, 0.32µm film thickness) was used for separation of
components in bio-oil fraction. The GC conditions set for the analysis are as follows:
9
Oven Temperature (Initial) : 60 0C (hold 3min)
0.4µL of sample in solvent (respective solvents used for extraction) was injected through the
heated injector port of the gas chromatograph. Simultaneously, magnet scan and data acquisition
were initiated. For quantitative analysis peak area of individual components was considered.
Published literature on fast pyrolysis of biomass indicates that pyrolysis produces 60–75 % w/w
of oily products (oil and other liquids) with 15–25% of solids (mainly biochar) and 10–20% of
gaseous phase depending on the feedstock used [28]. Different components, classified in groups
of organic acids, aldehydes, ketones, furans, phenolic compounds, and other sugar based
components has been identified in bio-oil derived from lignocellulosic feedstock [29]. Moisture
and ash contents of JSCBO and KSCBO used in the study are 8-10% and 0.05% respectively.
Bio-oil was obtained in the range of 16-20 wt. % for Jatropha and 30-40wt. % for Karanjia seed-
cake. Moisture and ash contents of JSCBO and KSCBO used in the study were 8 -10% and
0.05% respectively. Moisture content of the bio-oils samples were determined by ASTM D 95.
The ash content was determined by ASTM D 482 for the bio-oils. Since pyrolysis of the seed-
cakes produces bio-oil, pyrolytic char, gas and water, the bio-oils are usually associated with
10
some moisture, even after the removal by various methods [30]. Presence of nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium has been reported in jatropha seed-cake and hence presence of 0.05 to
0.1% ash can be expected [31]. The recovered solvents from the rotavapour also analyzed by
GCMS technique did not show presence of any low boiling components of bio-oils. Table 1
provides details of physico-chemical properties of typical Jatropha and Karanjia seed-cake bio-
oil products. Figure 1 shows percentage weight of bio-oil fractions sequentially extracted with
3.0 GPC
Overlay chromatogram of JSCBO and KSCBO is shown in (Fig S1, see Supporting Material)
GPC chromatogram of JSCBO and KSCBO showed one major component, constituting nearly
90% from the chromatogram peak area and in the molecular weight range of 300 to 350 daltons.
Higher molecular weight components were found to be around 10% in the molecular weight
range of 400 to 600 daltons. The GPC chromatograms showed the presence of 4 to5 components
Figure 2 shows the IR spectra of JSCBO solvent extracted fractions. Sample as such shows the
presence of phenol / alcohol (3288cm-1), carboxylic acid (1710cm-1) and amide (1660cm-1)
functional groups clearly. Hexane and benzene fractions of JSCBO showed enrichment of
650cm-1) and low quantity of carboxylic acids, long chain olefin moieties (3005cm -1). The only
difference observed from the IR spectrum of EA and DCM fractions is due to presence of acid
moieties in the EA fraction. Figure 3 shows the IR spectra of KSCBO solvent extracted
fractions. Hexane, benzene, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane fractions of KSCBO shows
11
similar components like saturated / un-saturated fatty acid (1707 cm-1), amide (1660 cm-1) and
aromatics / substituted aromatics (800 – 650cm-1). Esters of fatty acids were present in hexane
fraction. Methanol fraction was also found to be rich in amide and phenols compared to other
fractions.
Detailed components analysis of Bio-oil fractions was carried out on the Autospec Ultima HR-
GCMS system. TIC chromatogram for each fraction was recorded as per GCMS conditions
explained in experimental section. Individual components in each fraction have been identified
using NIST mass spectral library, retention index and boiling point data of the compounds.
Table 2 and 3 represent the detailed component analysis of the compounds present in each
fraction of JSCBO and KSCBO. For quantitative analysis, peak area of individual components
was considered.
From the total fraction weight percentage, around 32 wt. % of the JSCBO was extracted with
hexane and its total ion current (TIC) chromatogram is shown in Figure 4. GCMS analysis
shows the presence 34 compounds using NIST library. It has been confirmed that the major
components present in this fraction were methyl ester of fatty acid up to 12.8 and free fatty acids
up to 8.9 wt% respectively. GCMS analysis indicates presence of alkanes and alkenes in the
range of C14 –C20 in the concentration range of 0.7 and 0.6 wt. % respectively in this fraction.
Major fatty acids found in the mixture were C18:2, C18:1 and C16:0, whereas C20:0 was found
in lesser amounts. Figure 5 show the EI mass spectrum of C18: 1 acid present in the sample.
GCMS analysis of the fraction shows the presence of methyl ester of C18 fatty acids (FAME).
Presence of FAME in crude bio-oil composition is not common and has not been reported.
12
Therefore from the findings of GCMS analysis it may be assumed that certain fatty acids,
especially C18 acids have been converted to methyl esters during pyrolysis process, where
conditions are favorable for trans-esterification [28]. Presences of indole, C1 to C3-indoles upto
0.7 wt. % and C16 - C18 alkyl amides upto 0.6 wt. % were also identified in this fraction.
Presence of these nitrogen compounds in proteinaceous biomass has been reported earlier.
In case of KSCBO, around 42.0 wt.% of sample was extracted with hexane showed prominent
presence of fatty acid up to 27.0 wt. %, out of which around 4.0 wt. % represents methyl ester
converted fatty acids unlike in case of JSCBO, showing the presence of more fatty acid methyl
esters. Fatty acids in the range of C16 - C18 up to 23.0 wt. % and fatty acid methyl ester up to 3.9
wt. % were also identified in the fraction. The fatty acids observed in the C18 range were largely
unsaturated with single or double bond as in case of JSCBO, whereas methyl esters of the fatty
acids were in the wider range from C16 to C22. Alkanes in the carbon range C11-25 up to 3.2 wt%
and alkenes /alkynes in C11-19 up to 2.6% were observed. Long chain alkyl amide from C16 to C18
alkyl chains were also found in this fraction. Unlike in the case of hexane fraction of JSCBO, the
KSCBO fraction showed presence of only substituted phenols in the concentration range of 1.0
wt. % and presence of methoxy phenols were inconspicuous. This fraction also showed the
presence of fatty acid amides from C16 to C18 range as in the case of JSCBO. It was observed
from FTIR and MS studies that in addition to non-polar compounds, some polar compounds like
long alkyl chain fatty acids and amides were also found to be present in the hexane fraction that
Benzene extraction of total bio-oil sample was 28.4 wt. % in JSCBO. GCMS analyses of this
fraction also confirmed that C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 and C18:2 fatty acids, either in the form of free
13
acid or their methyl ester major component were present. From the TIC chromatogram, the
concentration of fatty acid was found to be in the range of 7.0 wt. %, of which hexadecanoic acid
as major one. The fatty acid in the methyl ester form was in the range of 8.1wt %, out of which
oleic and linoleic acid were almost 7.9 wt %. Phenols and methoxy phenols were identified in
up to 4.9 wt. %. The major component among the phenols was 4-ethyl-2-methoxy phenol, as
confirmed by mass spectrum. N-aromatics like indole, methyl and dimethyl indoles were present
up to 2.6 wt. %. Aromatic compounds like naphthalene and diphenyl propane were found to be
present in traces.
KSCBO showed C16 to C18 fatty acids as major class of compounds present in this fraction
constituting to 15.7 wt. %, out of the 29.6 wt. % total fraction weight. Additionally, it is observed
that 3.0 wt. % of fatty acids exists in the form of methyl esters. Long chain amide in C 16 to C18
carbon range makes up to 1.6% sample weight. Alkanes and alkenes in the concentration range
of 1.6 and 1.4 wt. % were also observed in this fraction. Aromatic hydrocarbons like lower alkyl
benzene in range from C3 - C7, naphthalenes and substituted phenols were present in low
concentrations. It was observed from the GCMS analysis that major quantity of alkanes, alkenes,
low molecular weight aromatics hydrocarbons and phenols has been extracted in hexane and
benzene fractions.
12.0 and 10.5 wt. % of the bio-oil was extracted with DCM in the case of jatropha and karanjia
seed-cakes respectively. TIC chromatogram of the fractions showed the presence of phenols and
methoxy phenols with alkyl chain length from C1-C4 up to 5.5 wt. %. Methoxy phenols with this
alkyl chain length appear to be distributed in both benzene and DCM fraction. Fatty acids and
their methyl esters up to 2.6 and 1.1 wt. % respectively were indentified. Methyl, diethyl and
14
methoxy indoles up to 1.2 wt. % have also been found. This fraction of JSCBO showed presence
From the TIC chromatogram of dichloromethane fraction of KSCBO, it has been inferred that
fatty acid is present up to 8.3 wt%. From Table 3 and individual component analysis, it is
obvious that the presence of phenols and methoxy phenols is in very small amount, i.e., 0.4 wt %
as compared to that of JSCBO fraction containing 5.5 wt. % of the same components. This
naphtho [1,2-b]furan-dione showing molecular ion at m/z 262 and major fragment ion at m/z 160
methylphenylamino)-1,4napthaoquinone with major molecular ion at m/z 291 and fragment ion
at m/z 160 in traces. Probability of the presence of these compounds in the pyrolysed sample
may be due to breaking down and rearrangement of large lignin and protein molecules during
pyrolysis.
Detailed compositional analysis of this fraction as inferred from the GCMS analysis showed the
presence of same components as found in the DCM fraction with variation in their intensities.
However, saturated hydrocarbons and lower phenols were found only in traces in the sample.
TIC chromatogram of JSCBO showed higher amount of FAME (3.7 wt. %), fatty acids up to 2.0
wt. % and phenols and methoxy phenols in concentration range of (2 wt. %) by weight.
GCMS analysis of EA fraction of KSCBO showed the presence of fatty acids (1.2%) and amides
15
methylphenylamino)-1,4 napthaoquinone in traces were identified from mass spectra of the
sample. Figure 1 shows the extraction of only 2 wt. % of the sample weight in EA.
16.9 wt % of the JSCBO was extracted in MeOH. GCMS analysis of MeOH extracted bio-oil
showed major components as phenols. Total phenols in the fraction are determined as 8.4 wt %.
The fractions shows exclusive extraction of long chain pentadecenyl and pentadidecenyl phenols
as major constituent, amounting to 5.6, out of total 8.4 wt %. Figure 6 represents the EI
spectrum of pentadecenyl phenol in the sample. Pentadecanyl phenols are present in the range of
1.2 wt%. Other lower phenols in carbon range C6 to C9 are present in less concentration.
(m.wt. 282) and butyl-N-benzylamide (m/z 268) in the concentration of 1.2 and 0.8 wt %
respectively. 2.2 wt. % of methyl ester of fatty acid and 0.8 wt. % of fatty acids are the other
components identified in this fraction, along with 1.8 wt. % of other unidentified components.
1,4napthaoquinone were present. Other constituents of the fraction were free fatty acids along
with their amides and esters. About 0.8 wt % of components in JSCBO and KSCBO fractions
4.0 CONCLUSION
16
Each category of bio-oil needs a more critical protocol based separation for clear identification of
components present using various analytical techniques. In this work bio-oil fraction has been
characterized by FTIR and GCMS technique to provide in-depth information at molecular level
of components present. Fatty acids and their methyl ester along with amides (C16 to C18) were
predominantly found in hexane and benzene fractions. Valuable chemicals like phenols and
methoxy phenols were obtained in polar bio-oil fractions. Presence of long alkyl chain phenols
and oxygenated compounds were identified in methanol fractions of JSCBO and KSCBO
respectively.
