Pyrolysis Of Biomass

Activated carbon (AC) was reported as a promising catalyst to selectively produce phenolic compounds from biomass using the micro-wave assisted catalytic pyrolysis technique. In order to evaluate the catalytic performance of the AC under the traditional fast pyrolysis process, analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) technique was applied for the catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass mixed with the AC. Polar wood was selected as the feedstock, and experiments were conducted to reveal the AC-catalyzed poplar wood pyrolysis behavior and product distribution. The results indicated that the AC was also effective for the phenolics production in the traditional fast pyrolysis process at 350 °C. It could promote the formation of phenolic compounds, and inhibit most of the other pyrolytic products. The maximal phenolics yield was obtained at the biomass to catalyst ratio of 1:4, with the peak area% over 50%.

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%.

Pyrolysis Of Biomass

The objective of this study is to catalytically upgrade fast pyrolysis vapors of sawdust using various Fe-based catalysts for producing phenolic-rich bio-oil by analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) technique. A variety of parameters, including support characteristic, calcination temperature, pyrolysis temperature, as well as the catalyst-to-biomass ratio during the pyrolysis process were evaluated for their effects on product distribution of bio-oil. GC-MS analysis showed that compared to Fe–Mg and Fe–Al catalysts, the developed Fe–Ca catalyst significantly promoted the formation of phenols and its derivatives. The phenolic concentration declined with increasing calcination temperature and pyrolysis temperature, while increased monotonically along with increasing catalyst-to-biomass ratio. The phenolics concentration was high upto 81% (peak area) under optimum conditions of calcination temperature of 500 °C, pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C and catalyst-to-biomass ratio of 10. At higher catalyst-to-biomass ratio of 20, phenolics (88.03% in peak area) and hydrocarbons (including 7.86% of aromatics and 4.1% aliphatics) were the only two components that can be detected, with all the acids, aldehydes and ketones completely eliminated. This indicated the excellent capability of developed Fe–Ca catalyst in promoting the decomposition of lignin in biomass to generate phenolic compounds and meanwhile inhibiting the devolatilization of holocellulose.

Pyrolysis Of Biomass

Mo-modified ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared and used to produce aromatic hydrocarbons during catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of biomass. The composition and distribution of aromatics were investigated on pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The reaction factors, such as the Mo content, the reaction temperature and the catalyst/biomass mass ratio, were also optimized. It was found that the 10Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst displayed the best activity in improving the production of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) and decreasing the yield of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 600 °C and with a catalyst/biomass ratio of 10. Furthermore, according to catalyst characterization and the experiment results, the aromatics formation mechanism over Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts was also summarized and proposed.

Pyrolytic Product

Analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was employed for the fast pyrolysis of glucose, cellubiose and cellulose in this study. The pyrolytic products from the three glucose-based materials were determined and compared to reveal the distribution differences. The results indicated that fast pyrolysis of the three materials obtained similar pyrolytic products, including the anhydrosugars, furans, linear carbonyls and cyclopentanones, but the distribution of the pyrolytic products differed from each other. The cellulose formed more anhydrosugars, but less carbonyls and furans than the glucose and cellubiose. The glycosidic bond of the cellubiose and cellulose would favor the pyrolytic depolymerization reactions to form various anhydrosugars, while inhibit the pyrolytic fragmentation reactions to produce linear carbonyls.

To investigate the catalytic pyrolysis performance of complex metal oxide catalysts for biomass, γ-Al2O3 was prepared through the precipitation method, and then ZrO2 and γ-Al2O3 were blended in the proportion of 2:8 using the co-precipitation method. Next, CeO2 was loaded on the surface of the catalyst for further modification. The three catalysts, A, ZA and CZA, were obtained. The specific surface and acidity of the catalysts were characterized by nitrogen adsorption–desorption and NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (NH3-TPD) respectively. The catalytic pyrolysis performance of catalysts for bamboo residues was investigated by Pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). Chromatograms were analyzed for identification of the pyrolysis products and the relative amounts of each component were calculated. Experimental results indicated that catalyst A had a good catalytic activity for the fast pyrolysis of bamboo residues. The addition of ZrO2 and CeO2 could continuously enhance the acidity of the catalyst and further promote the pyrolysis of macromolecular compounds and deoxidation of oxygen-containing compounds. Finally, catalyst CZA, obtained by compound modification, could not only dramatically reduce the relative content of phenol, acid and aldehyde and other oxygen-containing compounds, but also achieved the maximum hydrocarbon yield of 23.38%. The catalytic performance of catalyst CZA improved significantly compared with catalyst A.

Mfi Zeolites

A series of gallium-containing MFI (Ga-MFI) zeolites with varying Ga2O3/Al2O3 ratios were synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis and tested as catalyst in catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of beech wood for aromatic production. The results show that the incorporation of Ga slightly reduced the effective pore size of Ga-MFI zeolites compared to conventional HZSM-5 zeolites. Therefore, the Ga-MFI zeolites increased the aromatic selectivity for smaller aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and p-xylene and decreased the aromatic selectivity for bulkier ones such as m-xylene, o-xylene, and polyaromatics in CFP of beech wood relative to HSZM-5. In particular, the yield and selectivity of p-xylene, the most desired product from CFP of biomass, increased considerably from 1.64 C% and 33.3% for conventional HZSM-5 to 2.98–3.34 C% and 72.1–79.6% for the synthesized Ga-MFI zeolites. These results suggest that slightly reducing the pore size of MFI zeolite by Ga incorporation has a beneficial effect on optimizing the aromatic selectivity toward more valuable monoaromatic products, especially p-xylene, during CFP of biomass.
