Insight into the fast pyrolysis of lignin: Unraveling the role of volatile evolving and char structural evolution

Qingqi Zheng et al.

Summary: Understanding the role of volatile evolving, char structural evolution, and pyrolysis reaction pathway is crucial for effective utilization of lignin through a pyrolysis-based biorefinery approach. Fast pyrolysis of lignin at different temperatures revealed the release characteristics of volatile compounds and their connection with char structure evolution. The results showed that the release of simple substituted aryl compounds was promoted by the cleavage of beta-O-4 and alpha-O-4. The study also found that high temperatures contributed to the formation of aromatic monomers, and the aromaticity can be evaluated based on the atom ratio of H/C and the degree of ring condensation.

Investigation of product selectivity and kinetics of poplar sawdust catalytic pyrolysis over bi-metallic Iron-Nickel/ZSM-5 catalyst

Yingkai Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the product selectivity and kinetics of poplar sawdust catalytic pyrolysis over bi-metallic Fe-Ni/ZSM-5 were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis and Py-GC/MS.
