This present work is concerned about the study of energetic utilization of oil obtained from coconut peel, and the physical-chemical and rheological characterization. The samples of coconut peel oil were obtained through Low Temperature Conversion Process - LTC, about 400 °C, in the presence of inert atmosphere. From this process of acquisition of oil, three phases results: aqueous, gaseous, and solid. Some analysis with coconut peel oil were performed to determine parameters such as flash point, density, calorific power, and viscosity. The calorific power of the coal (solid phase) that result the obtained of coconut oil was also determined.
