Study on the pyrolysis characteristics of sawdust catalyzed by spent FCC catalyst and blast furnace ash

A review on thermochemical based biorefinery catalyst development progress

“…The FCC catalyst contains a crystalline Y-zeolite, matrix, binder and ller in its structure and it is mainly used for the cracking of heavy fractions inside crude petroleum to obtain gasoline or diesel. [265][266][267][268][269] The use of the FCC catalyst in the pyrolysis of biomass has been investigated by several research teams (Table 8). [270][271][272][273][274] Bertero et al 270 investigated the pyrolysis of pine sawdust at 500 °C.…”
