Fast pyrolysis is one of the three main thermal routes, with gasification and combustion, to providing a useful and valuable biofuel. Biomass is a mixture of hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin and minor amounts of other organics which each pyrolyse or degrade at different rates and by different mechanisms and pathways. Fast pyrolysis product yields are typically 5070% biooil, 1030% biochar, and 1520% syngas by mass. For the hydrogenproduction scenario, 38% of the biooil is reformed to produce 1,500 kghour of hydrogen. Biomass must first be dried and ground to biooil yield for a 2,000 mtday corn stover pyrolysis plant is 104 million gallons 394 million liters per year, representing 72% yield by weight of the dry biomass input with 15% water content.
When the sawdust was pyrolyzed at 460 c in pyrolysis gas and the condenser with spraying, a maximum biooil yield of 71. An overview of fast pyrolysis of biomass sciencedirect. Pdf catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass researchgate. Controlling deoxygenation pathways in catalytic fast.
