Pyrolysis behavior of cellulose in a fixed bed reactor: Residue evolution and effects of parameters on products distribution and bio-oil composition

Investigation of biomass components on the slow pyrolysis products yield using Aspen Plus for techno-economic analysis

“…This could be the reason for its high bio-oil and gas yield and poor char yield. The reported high yield of bio-oil in the works of Zhao et al [40], Gao et al [42], Dong et al [41] and Yu et al [43] could be due to the high volatile content of cellulose (see Table 7) [45]. As observed in the current study, cellulose could also favour the gas yield.…”

“…2. Figure 2 also compares the slow pyrolysis product yields of the current work with other works of Zhao et al [40], Dong et al [41], Gao et al [42] and Yu et al [43]. In the current work, it can be seen from Fig.…”

“…However, next to the bio-oil yield, the cellulose did not offer a consistent yield of char and gas. Zhao et al [40] and Dong et al [41] observed cellulose favouring the char yield while Gao et al [42] and Yu et al [43] reported cellulose favouring the gas yield.…”

“…The reported proximate analysis results of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in earlier works[8,[40][41][42] …”

Characterization of solid char produced from pyrolysis of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste, high volatile coal and their blends

“…The typical gaseous products during pyrolysis consist of CO 2 , CO, CH 4 , H 2 , C 2 H 6 and C 3 H 8 [12]. [36]. Similar results were also found during bench-scale pyrolysis of agricultural wastes, such as wheat straw, olive husks, grape residues, and rice husks, with maximum tar yield in the range from 500°C to 600°C [37].…”
