“…Furthermore, Masto et al [2] have studied the impacts and yields of biochar from water hyacinth at various temperatures and residence times. Hussain et al [18] focused on the characteristics of the liquid and gas products produced by two step catalytic pyrolysis of water hyacinth. Previous studies [19,20] have also investigated syngas production by algae pyrolysis at different temperatures and with different catalysts.…”

“…In the present work, grey cement or ordinary Portland cement was used as a catalyst. This catalyst was recently introduced by the authors to reduce the oxygen content in biomass pyrolysis products . The effect of the amount of cement catalyst on the pyrolysis of soap was investigated to determine the optimum ratio.…”

In this work, soap was converted into a hydrocarbon‐rich product through catalytic pyrolysis using cement as a catalyst. The intention was to develop a new economical and effective method for preparing diesel and gasoline from soap waste in food processing. The optimum conditions for pyrolysis were investigated in a batch process under static conditions at different reactor temperatures, catalyst amounts, and reaction durations. The resulting oil product was analyzed using GC‐FID, GC‐MS, and FTIR. The best yield occurred at a reaction temperature of 400 °C for 60 min with 0.3 g/g (30 mass%) catalyst in soap waste, which resulted in 0.71 g/g (71 mass%) hydrocarbons with small fractions of pyran, ketone, and oxygenated compounds of mixed functional groups. The resulting liquid pyrolysate mainly consisted of diesel‐like oil with a small fraction of gasoline and some oils that had boiling‐point temperature ranges similar to kerosene.

“…The highest de-oxygenation degree of 84.6 % was achieved and the bio-oil contained high content of phenolic compounds but less carbonyl/acidic content. Hussain et al [155] studied the pyrolysis of water hyacinth with cement as the catalyst. As a result, it was found that about 7 % oil and 29 % fuel gases were obtained in addition to 14 % water and 50 % char.…”

The biomass thermochemical conversion process includes two major approaches: pyrolysis and gasification. The advantages of pyrolysis and gasification of biomass feedstock in the presence of various catalyst systems are critically reviewed. The role of a catalyst in pyrolysis of biomass and its major components cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin is investigated. The discussion is focused on elucidating the reaction mechanisms involved in the formation of aromatics and phenols during catalytic pyrolysis. The pyrolysis performance of two major catalyst systems, metal-containing catalysts and zeolite catalysts, is analyzed. The impact of the catalyst on the deoxygenation efficiency is ascertained. In the catalytic gasification process, two major catalyst systems including alkali metals and noble metal catalysts are employed. This review illustrates the function of the catalyst in improving the yields of syngas and hydrogen and the mechanistic aspects of the reduction of tar and char formed during gasification. Ultimately, the review is intended to introduce the state of art in the biomass thermochemical conversion with an emphasis on the importance of the catalyst in producing value-added products.
