The unstable nature of biocrude oils produced from conventional pyrolysis of biomass is one of the properties that limits its application. In the disposal of poultry litter via pyrolysis technology, the biocrude oil produced as a value-added product can be used for on farm applications. In this study, we investigated the influence of bedding material (wood shavings) on the storage stability of biocrude oils produced from the fast pyrolysis of poultry litter. The biocrude oils produced from manure, wood (pine and oak), and mixtures of manure and wood in proportions (75:25 50:50, and 25:75 w/w%) were stored under ambient conditions in sealed glass vials for a period of 6 months and their stability were monitored by measuring the changes in viscosity over time. The manure oil had the lowest rate of viscosity change and thus was relatively the most stable and the oils from the 50:50 w/w% litter mixtures were the least stable. The rate of viscosity change of the manure biocrude oil was 1.33 cP/day and that of the 50/50 litter mixture was 7.6 cP/day for pine and 4.17 cP/day for oak.The spectrometric analyses of the biocrude oils showed that the presence of highly reactive oxygenated functionalities in the oil were responsible for the instability characteristic of the litter biocrude oils. The poor stability of the biocrude oil from the 50:50 w/w% litter mixtures was attributed to reactions between nitrogenous compounds (amides) from protein degradation and oxygenated compounds from the decomposition of polysaccharides and lignin. The addition of 10% methanol and 10% ethanol to the oil from 50% manure and 50% pine reduced the initial viscosity of the oil and was also beneficial in slowing down the rate of viscosity change during storage.
► We investigated the storage stability of biocrude oils from poultry litter.
► The manure oil had the lowest rate of viscosity change.
► The manure biocrude oil increased in viscosity at a rate of 1.33 cP/day.
► The 50/50 litter mixture aged a rate of 7.6 cP/day for pine and 4.17 cP/day for oak.
► The instability of the biocrude oils were due to highly reactive oxygenated moieties.
