Catalysts in Biomass Pyrolysis: A Brief Review

Abstract:

Biomass can be converted to a variety of fuels and chemicals by different technologies, one of them is fast pyrolysis which offers a convenient way to convert biomass mainly into a liquid product known as bio-oil. Bio-oils must be upgraded if they are to be used as a replacement for diesel and gasoline fuels. This review presents a summary of recent research in catalysts which were used in biomass pyrolysis, focusing on the catalysts applied, upgrading methods and reaction mechanisms.
