Synthesis of mesoporous carbon from Merbau wood (Intsia spp.) waste by microwave method as nickel catalyst support for α-cellulose hydrocracking had been carried out. The Merbau wood sawdust was carbonized at 800 °C to produce C800 and the C800 was treated by microwave irradiation (399 W) for 5 min to produce C800MW. The Merbau wood flakes, which were only treated by microwave irradiation (399 Watts) for 30 min produced CMW. Wet impregnation technique was carried out to disperse the Ni metal (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt.%) onto the best mesoporous carbon. The mesoporous carbons were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Surface Area Analyzer (SAA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The hydrocracking of pyrolyzed α-cellulose was carried out at 400 °C. The liquid product was analyzed by Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The results showed that the C800MW was the best performance carbon and it had a specific surface area, total pore volume, average pore diameter and acidity of 364.12 m2/g, 0.28 cm3/g, 3.03 nm, and 2.18 mmol/g, respectively. The Ni1.5/C800MW catalyst produced the highest conversion of liquid product (58.76 wt.%) than the Ni1/C800MW (57.51 wt.%) and Ni2/C800MW (34.18 wt.%).

In the present study, a model for the fast pyrolysis of a spherical biomass particle has been developed. The model admits the generation of data which are not accessible experimentally such as the intra-particle temperature and concentration distribution. Simulations have been carried using data from the reactor as well as from literature and the effects of the heating rate and the particle size have been examined. The kinetic model is coupled with a heat transfer model. The reaction kinetic constants have been chosen in order to match the theory to the data taken from experiments carried out in a laboratory wire mesh reactor, for a temperature range from 573 K to 873 K and a heating rate of 200 K/s. Pyrolysis temperature and product distribution profiles in both spatial and temporal directions throughout the particle are presented. The effects of the particle size and the reactor's heating rate in the final pyrolysis products and temperature are shown and discussed. Simulations were carried out using Matlab and the model has been validated against the experimental results. The heating rate, which is an important operating condition in thermal processes, seems to have a positive effect on the biomass conversion to gaseous and liquid products, an increase of the first resulting to an increase of the second. Particle size was found to have a negative effect on pyrolysis conversion as larger particles tend to give higher char yields. For the particular experimental system analyzed here, it seems that the radial non-uniformity is not very large and acceptable results can also be taken using a lumped particle model. Validation of the model with experimental data showed great accordance, thus the model could be used for the prediction of final pyrolysis yields and temperatures.

Seed-induced synthesis of ZSM-5 aggregates was carried out without organic templates. The prepared ZSM-5 aggregates were used upgrading polar sawdust-derived pyrolytic vapors for the selective production of naphthalene and alkyl naphthalene. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) experiments were conducted to analyze the pyrolytic product distribution and evaluate the catalyst performance. Due to the mesopores and proper acidities of ZSM-5 aggregates, the yield of naphthalene and methylnaphthalene over ZSM-5 aggregates were 36.0 and 123.7 mg/g, which were 2.7 and 2.6 times of those respectively over the commercial ZSM-5. The total selectivities of naphthalene and alkyl naphthalene could reach 61.56%.
