This article presents the experimental data on distillation of bio-oil obtained from thermal cracking of a mixture of castor oil and its methyl esters. The interpretation of the data can be found in Menshhein et al. (2019) available on https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.04.136. Experiments were carried out using a simple distillation apparatus and the products were quantified and qualified from Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) with standards compounds. Data were presented in terms of distillation equipment and distillation curve values of volume and temperature of the crude bio-oil sample. Information about GC-FID methods and chromatograms of from standard heptaldehyde and methyl undecenoate and their analytical curve. Carbon number data of crude bio-oil sample was also showed.
