TL;DR: In this paper, the shape selectivity of ZSM-5 catalysts has been studied in order to improve the quality of bio-oil from catalytic fast pyrolysis, where the uniform pore size, unique channels equipped with elliptical and near-circular openings, mesoporosity, and tunable acidity are considered as the most selective for the production of aromatics and also are responsible for deoxygenation reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass with acid catalysts is presented, and the potential of different catalyst modification strategies for an adequate amount of acid sites and pore size confinement is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a downdraft circulating fluidized bed reactor commercial-scale fast pyrolysis plant with biomass throughput of 1-3 t−h−1 is studied. And the thermal properties of the feedstock (rice husk), dust (separated from feedstock), char and heat carrier were analyzed and the bio-oil properties such as water content, pyroplytic water content and viscosity, density, pH, heating value.

TL;DR: The synergetic effects during co-pyrolysis of biomass and waste tire (WT) were investigated concerning the product distribution and reaction kinetics and the experimental derivative thermogravimetric curves of mixtures at the optimal H/Ceff were compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of biomass to catalyst loading ratio on aromatic hydrocarbon production was evaluated using pyrolysis of pinewood sawdust over acidic (ZSM-5) and basic (CaO) catalyst.
