Pyrolysis of Wood/Biomass for Bio-oil: A Critical Review
TLDR
A review of the recent developments in the wood pyrolysis and reports the characteristics of the resulting bio-oils, which are the main products of fast wood pyrotechnics, can be found in this paper.Abstract:
Fast pyrolysis utilizes biomass to produce a product that is used both as an energy source and a feedstock for chemical production. Considerable efforts have been made to convert wood biomass to liquid fuels and chemicals since the oil crisis in mid-1970s. This review focuses on the recent developments in the wood pyrolysis and reports the characteristics of the resulting bio-oils, which are the main products of fast wood pyrolysis. Virtually any form of biomass can be considered for fast pyrolysis. Most work has been performed on wood, because of its consistency and comparability between tests. However, nearly 100 types of biomass have been tested, ranging from agricultural wastes such as straw, olive pits, and nut shells to energy crops such as miscanthus and sorghum. Forestry wastes such as bark and thinnings and other solid wastes, including sewage sludge and leather wastes, have also been studied. In this review, the main (although not exclusive) emphasis has been given to wood. The literature on woo...read more

Preparation and characterization of bio-oils from internally circulating fluidized-bed pyrolyses of municipal, livestock, and wood waste
Jing-Pei Cao,Xianbin Xiao,Zhang Shouyu,Xiao-Yan Zhao,Xiao-Yan Zhao,Kazuyoshi Sato,Yukiko Ogawa,Xian-Yong Wei,Takayuki Takarada +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that the bio-oil from SS is rich in aliphatic and organonitrogen species, while theBio- oil from PC exhibits higher caloric value due to its higher carbon content and lower oxygen content in comparison with that from SS.

Catalytic pyrolysis of Miscanthus × giganteus over activated alumina
Sait Yorgun,Yunus Emre Simsek +1 more
TL;DR: Activated alumina catalyst has a strong influence on the Miscanthusxgiganteus pyrolysis product and conversion yield and the catalytic bio-oils obtained were examined using elemental analysis, column chromatography, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy methods.
