Review on the catalytic effects of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) including sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium on the pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and on the co-pyrolysis of coal with biomass

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: With the development of pyrolysis processes for converting solid biomass into upgraded biofuels and biochemicals, the catalytic effects of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) have gained increasing interest. These metals greatly affect the thermal conversion of biomass, although their effects are not fully understood. Furthermore, as coal is being used extensively for global energy demand, the need for alternative and carbon-neutral energy sources has emerged. The co-pyrolysis of biomass with coal has shown promise as a way to transition from fossil to renewable energy carriers. Understanding the catalytic role of AAEMs is crucial in this co-processing approach.

Fast pyrolysis of elephant grass: Intensification of levoglucosan yield and other value-added pyrolytic by-products

Euripedes Garcia Silveira Junior et al.

Summary: This research focuses on enhancing levoglucosan yield from elephant grass through acetic acid pretreatment before fast pyrolysis. The acid treatment led to a significant increase in levoglucosan content by reducing hemicellulose and lignin. The study also showed morphological and chemical changes in the biomass, contributing to an understanding of the increase in value-added byproducts after pyrolysis.

Comparative Assessment of Pretreatment Options for Biomass Pyrolysis: Linking Biomass Compositions to Resulting Pyrolysis Behaviors, Kinetics, and Product Yields

Zhihao Wang et al.

Summary: Four representative pretreatment methods were used to alter eucalyptus compositions and study their effects on pyrolysis behaviors, kinetics, and product yields. All four pretreatment methods significantly decreased the AAEM contents of eucalyptus, with DH and MOP removing hemicellulose or lignin fractions. The activation energy for hemicellulose pyrolysis was reduced by WW, AW, and DH, while all four methods improved cellulose pyrolysis activation energy. Additionally, the formation of certain pyrolysis products was suppressed, and the levoglucosan yield was increased by all four pretreatment methods.

An understanding for improved biomass pyrolysis: Toward a systematic comparison of different acid pretreatments

Shuyu Zhou et al.

Summary: The study compares the effects of acid infusion and washing pretreatments on biomass pyrolysis products through a combination of experimental techniques and theoretical kinetic analysis. Acid washed corn stover showed reduction in char and improvement in sugars, especially levoglucosan, compared to raw corn stover, while sugar yield of acid infused corn stover remained relatively high under acid buffer conditions but decreased significantly with higher acid infusion levels. The kinetic analysis suggested strong condensation reactions between cellulose and lignin in acid infused corn stover, with increased production of vinyl-phenols and other simple phenols associated with enhanced char production. Overall, the study provides insights into fast pyrolysis behavior of acid pretreated biomass for high-quality bio-oil production and value-added chemicals.

Influence of acid-washed pretreatment on the pyrolysis of corn straw: A study on characteristics, kinetics and bio-oil composition

Dongyu Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that hydrochloric acid washing could effectively remove metals in corn straw, increase cellulose and hemicellulose content, and reduce the activation energy of the pyrolysis process. GC-MS analysis showed that oxygenated components in bio-oil were efficiently destroyed by hydrochloric acid pretreatment while alcohols and sugars content increased significantly.
