Effective removal of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEM) is of great significance for promoting biomass pyrolysis. In this study, demineralization via hydrothermal pretreatment was performed, and the effect on the pyrolysis behavior was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermal pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The effects of reaction temperature, time, and pH on the dissolution rate of K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ were investigated. The optimal total dissolution rate of the metal elements was 42.10%. Compared with acid leaching, hydrothermal pretreatment allowed a higher crystallinity index. It significantly changed the pyrolysis behavior. The relative content of sugar in pyrolysis products was as high as 58%. The chemical compound distribution was concentrated in the range between C6 and C9, which was conducive for the refinement of gasoline by upgrading. This means that hydrothermal pretreatment has efficient demineralization, which promoted the thermal degradation behavior of biomass.
