Raw dataset for optimization of bio-oil production from microwave co-pyrolysis of food waste and low-density polyethylene
Description
The dataset represents the images of collected food waste for 7-days from a residential area. The collected food waste was characterized, and based on its properties, simulated food waste was prepared to optimize the operating conditions to generate a high yield of bio-oil from microwave co-pyrolysis of food waste and low-density polyethylene. A control panel and display unit mounted on the microwave pyrolysis reactor was shown to adjust the microwave power, temperature, and residence time in co-pyrolysis. Effect of low-density polyethylene on bio-oil and biochar appearance was displayed.

Steps to reproduce
Food waste was collected from a residential area for 7-days. Based on its characterization, simulated food waste was prepared. Simulated food waste was dried (moisture content~7 wt.%), shredded (size~ 5 mm) and subjected to microwave pyrolysis/co-pyrolysis. For optimization of operating conditions, the microwave power, temperature and residence time was controlled with the control panel and displayed on the display unit of the microwave pyrolysis reactor. After the pyrolysis/co-pyrolysis, generated bio-oil and biochar was collected where the effect of low-density polyethylene was visually evidenced.
