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

Adsorption of Pb(II) on variable charge soils amended with rice-straw derived biochar.
TL;DR: The incorporation of biochar decreased the activity and availability of Pb(II) to plants through increased non-electrostatic adsorption of P b( II) by acidic variable charge soils.

The direct pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis of Nannochloropsis sp. residue for renewable bio-oils.
Pan Pan,Changwei Hu,Wenyan Yang,Yuesong Li,Linlin Dong,Liangfang Zhu,Dongmei Tong,Renwei Qing,Yong Fan +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that the bio-oils from catalytic pyrolysis of Nannochloropsis sp. residue (BOCP) had lower oxygen content and higher heating-value than those obtained from direct pyrolynsis (BODP) which had an oxygen content of 30.1 wt.% and heating- value of 24.6 MJ kg(-1).
