“…Moreover, metal oxides have been utilized in the decomposition of glycerol [20,21], cacao pod husks [22], 10 lignin [23], pyroligneous acid [24], and ethanol fermentation stillage [25] to give useful materials. Compared with AR, the concentration of heavy components such as VR (vacuum residue) and asphaltenes is much higher in bitumen, which means that carbonaceous residues and coke are easily formed during its decomposition.…”

“…Projects have been performed aiming to establish alternatives for adding value to these residues. Some scientists analyzed the utilization of cocoa pod husks as green solid base catalysts for transesterification of oils (Ofori-Boateng & TeongLee, 2013), as a source of proteins (Serra & Ventura, 1999), pectins (Vriesmann et al, 2011) (Vriesmann, Teófilo & de Oliveira, 2012) or other useful chemicals (Mansur, Tago, Masuda & Abimanyu, 2014), and as a raw material of the densification process (Syamsiro, Saptoadi, Tambunan & Pambudi, 2012). This work aims to identify the effect of using cocoa pod husks as an additive to sawdust and coal pellets, and the incidence of particle size on the mechanical properties of mixed biomass pellets made.…”

“…Another method involves the use of a zeolite catalyst, which is commonly used for the treatment of oil and which can be applied to bio‐oil . The influences of metal oxide catalysts on the quality and quantity of pyrolysis yields have been studied and evaluated extensively in the literature . In particular, metal oxides as catalysts are effective catalysts on the decomposition temperature of the biomass.…”

“…20 The influences of metal oxide catalysts on the quality and quantity of pyrolysis yields have been studied and evaluated extensively in the literature. [21][22][23][24][25] In particular, metal oxides as catalysts are effective catalysts on the decomposition temperature of the biomass. For instance, by using an alumina-supported transition metal catalyst such as Cu/Al 2 O 3 in the pyrolysis process, volatile gases at lower temperatures can be removed.…”
