Abstract

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of corn stover in a fluidized bed heated by hot flue gas: Physicochemical properties of bio-oil and its application

Highlights

Because of the global climate changes, environmental pollution and reduction of availability of fossil energy resources, there is increasing interest in biomass as a renewable resource with high potential for energy production
Pyrolysis is a promising tool for providing bio-oil that can be used as fuel or chemical feedstock[3]
Depending on the operating conditions, the pyrolysis process can be divided into two classes: conventional pyrolysis and fast or flash pyrolysis[4]

Summary

Introduction

Because of the global climate changes, environmental pollution and reduction of availability of fossil energy resources, there is increasing interest in biomass as a renewable resource with high potential for energy production. Biomass can be converted to various forms of energy through numerous thermochemical conversion processes[1,2], depending upon the type of energy desired. Pyrolysis is a promising tool for providing bio-oil that can be used as fuel or chemical feedstock[3]. Depending on the operating conditions, the pyrolysis process can be divided into two classes: conventional pyrolysis and fast or flash pyrolysis[4]. Conventional pyrolysis is a known technology for producing charcoal (mainly) and chemicals such as methanol and acetic acid[5]. The main goal of fast pyrolysis is to convert the biomass into a liquid. About 40%-75% of the biomass (on dry basis) is converted into pyrolytic oil, and about 10%-20% of the biomass is converted into
