Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass to Synthesize Bio-oil and Chemicals: A Review
Abstract: Increasing of global
energy demand and depletion of fossil fuels reserves encourage people to search
alternative energy resources. Biomass becomes promising candidate as
alternative energy sources since their sustainability. Pyrolysis is one of method
to convert biomass into bio-fuel. Almost all of biomass materials can be
converted into products by pyrolysis process. However, quality of bio-oil
produced by pyrolysis is still considered as low quality, due to their high
oxygen content and acidity. This paper provides a critical review of catalytic
pyrolysis of biomass to produce bio-oil with better properties. Types of
catalysts are discussed in this manuscript, as well as their capability to
reduce the oxygen content of product and enhance the properties of bio-oils.
