Resumen

Objetivo:  Revisar los últimos avances en el uso de reactores Auger en la pirólisis de diferentes tipos de biomasa, la influencia de los parámetros de operación en la obtención de los productos de pirólisis deseados y algunas técnicas de caracterización del bio-aceite producido.  


Metodología: Se utilizó la plataforma Scopus para realizar una búsqueda de la temática en los últimos 7 años (2017-2024) con las palabras claves en inglés [Auger], [Pirólisis], [Biomasa], [Residuos].


Resultados: La pirólisis es el proceso de descomposición termoquímica de la biomasa en condiciones de limitación de oxígeno. Sus productos principales son biocarbón, bio-aceite y gases incondensables. Las proporciones y características de estos productos dependen del tipo de pirólisis (lenta, rápida, flash), el tipo de biomasa y de los parámetros de operación, como el tiempo de residencia, la tasa de calentamiento, la temperatura y el tamaño de partícula. El uso de reactores Auger para la pirólisis se ha identificado como un proceso flexible, de fácil operación y gran potencial para implementarse a pequeña y baja escala, tanto en la pirólisis lenta como en la pirólisis rápida de biomasa.


Conclusiones: El pretratamiento de la materia prima, la temperatura y el caudal de gas de arrastre, juegan un papel crucial en la obtención de productos de alta calidad, razón por la cual deben ser optimizados.
