“…While the drivers for change toward a biorefinery solution in the forest products industry have been recognized, paths to commercial products are not well developed (Hänninen et al 2014;Marinova et al 2014;Novotny and Laestadius 2014;Pätäri et al 2016). There is a large array of potential technical and commercial paths without clear agreement on an optimum (Nanda et al 2013;de Jong et al 2015;Jungmeier et al 2015;Maronese et al 2015;Zhao et al 2015). Analysis of potential forest biorefineries have been done based on SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) for several feedstock and process pathways Wagemann 2012;Kretschmer 2014).…”

“…2014b). Recent reviews have covered pyrolysis technology development by sponsor, commercialization stage, feedstocks, and type of unit (Meier et al 2013;Nanda et al 2013). Using high temperature pyrolysis or hydrothermal gasification, wood is converted to a syngas consisting mostly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (Brown et al 2014;Li et al 2015c).…”

Kraft pulp and paper mills have several advantages for serving the emerging biorefinery industry as a source of raw materials. This review examines technologies for producing liquid biofuels, chemicals, and advanced materials from woody feedstocks to generate new sources of revenue. Market pull comes in part from government policies that drive substitution of petroleum-based products with biobased equivalents. Kraft mills have ample networks to supply feedstocks, whether these are forest residues or byproduct side streams. Pulp mills are well suited to expand sufficiently to accommodate production of value added platform chemicals that are in demand because of brand owner sustainability commitments.

“…Pinewood gave relatively high yield of bio-oils with lower gas yield compared to herbaceous biomasses. However, during each pyrolysis process the temperature, heating rate, heat flux, processing and residence times, gas conditions, feed density and particle size influence the yield of bio-oil and its chemical characteristics (Nanda, Mohammad, Reddy, Kozinski, & Dalai, 2014).

“…For the production of bio-oils, lignocellulosic biomasses are thermally degraded via pyrolysis at higher temperatures with varying heating rates (Czernik & Bridgwater, 2004). pyrolysis gases (Nanda, Mohammad, Reddy, Kozinski, & Dalai, 2014). In contrast, high heating rate (HHR) pyrolysis or fast pyrolysis typically occurs at temperatures ≥ 400 °C and has a heating rate > 300 °C/min.…”

Bio-oil is a major product of biomass pyrolysis that could potentially be used in motor engines, boilers, furnaces and turbines for heat and power. Upon catalytic upgrading, bio-oils can be used as transportation fuels due to enhancement of their fuel properties. In this study, bio-oils produced from lignocellulosic biomasses such as wheat straw, timothy grass and pinewood were estimated through slow and high heating rate pyrolysis at 450 °C. The slow heating rate (2 °C/min) pyrolysis resulted in low bio-oil yields and high amount of biochars, whereas the high heating rate (450 °C/min) pyrolysis produced significant amount of bio-oils with reduced biochar yields. The physico-chemical and compositional analyses of bio-oils were achieved through carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen-sulfur (CHNS) studies, calorific value, Fourier transform-infra red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The yields of bio-oils produced from the three biomasses were 40-48 wt.% through high heating rate pyrolysis and 18-24 wt.% through slow heating rate pyrolysis. The chemical components identified in bio-oils were classified into five major groups such as organic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and phenols. The percent intensities of hydrogen and carbon containing species were calculated from 1 H and 13 C-NMR. The study on bio-oils from herbaceous and woody biomasses revealed their potentials for fossil fuel substitution and bio-chemical production.

Lignocellulose-a major component of biomass available on earth is a renewable and abundantly available with great potential for bioconversion to value-added bio-products. The review aims at physio-chemical features of lignocellulosic biomass and composition of different lignocellulosic materials. This work is an overview about the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into bio-energy products such as bio-ethanol, 1-butanol, bio-methane, bio-hydrogen, organic acids including citric acid, succinic acid and lactic acid, microbial polysaccharides, single cell protein and xylitol. The biotechnological aspect of bio-transformation of lignocelluloses research and its future prospects are also discussed.
