TLDR
In this article, a set of commercial and laboratory-synthesized catalysts were evaluated for their performance via pyrolysis/catalytic cracking via three types of biomass feedstocks; cellulose, lignin, and wood were pyroized (batch experiments) in quartz boats in physical contact with the catalysts at temperature ranging from 400°C to 600°C and catalyst-to-biomass ratios of 5-10 by weight.About:
