“…To a certain extent, high pressure helps increase the solubility of the H 2 in the bio-oil and thereby increase hydrogenation via better accessibility to the catalyst. However, even at a low pressure of 5 bar, positive results have been observed [52]. Typical residence times range from 3 to 4 h for batch reactors.…”

Catalytic pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical conversion route for lignocellulosic biomass that produces chemicals and fuels compatible with current, petrochemical infrastructure. Catalytic modifications to pyrolysis bio-oils are geared towards the elimination and substitution of oxygen and oxygen-containing functionalities in addition to increasing the hydrogen to carbon ratio of the final products. Recent progress has focused on both hydrodeoxygenation and hydrogenation of bio-oil using a variety of metal catalysts and the production of aromatics from bio-oil using cracking zeolites. Research is currently focused on developing multi-functional catalysts used in situ that benefit from the advantages of both hydrodeoxygenation and zeolite cracking. Development of robust, highly selective catalysts will help achieve the goal of producing drop-in fuels and petrochemical commodities from wood and other lignocellulosic biomass streams. The current paper will examine these developments by means of a review of existing literature.

“…The results are well in line with that observed in the open literature as the bio-oil yield is more in case of inert atmosphere than hydrogen atmosphere. This maybe due to the tendency to produce more vapours which re-polymerise into char in case of reductive gas presence (Thangalazhy-Gopakumar et al, 2011).…”

“…Dozens of catalysts have been synthesized and evaluated for upgrading of bio-oil and pyrolysis vapors, including microporous catalysts USY,etc. ) (Ma and van Bokhoven, 2012;Thangalazhy-Gopakumar et al, 2011), mesoporous catalysts (MCM-41, FCC, MSU, SBA-15, Gamma-Al 2 O 3 , etc.) (Adam et al, 2006(Adam et al, , 2005Antonakou et al, 2006;Ates and Isikdag, 2009;Bertero and Sedran, 2013) and macroporous catalysts (CaO, MgO, etc.)…”
