Pyrolysis is a promising method to convert biomass into an oil that can be refined into valuable fuels and chemicals as well as a carbonaceous residue that can be converted into adsorbents. In pyrolysis, cellulose, the ...

Bio-oil is an unstable intermediate and needs to be upgraded before its use. This study focused on improving the selectivity of bio-oilby catalytic pyrolysis of biomass using activated carbon (AC) catalysts. Firstly, the ...

The aims of this dissertation were to understand the effects of zeolite as a catalyst for improving biofuel quality on in-situ microwave assisted catalytic pyrolysis and ex-situ catalytic cracking close coupled to microwave ...
