“…However, the catalytic pyrolysis of oil seed wastes, especially palm shell, is relatively sparse. Many types of catalysts have been studied for catalytic pyrolysis of various biomasses during the last two decades, including microporous catalysts such as zsm-5 and USY (Carlson et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2009a;Cerny et al, 2013), mesoporous catalysts such as MCM-22, FCC and gamma alumina (Adam et al, 2006;Corma et al, 2007;Jae et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2009b), and macroporous catalysts such as CaO (Wang et al, 2010). In general, the studies showed that the addition of zeolites into the pyrolysis reactor could increase the formation of aromatics.…”
