Production of Renewable Aromatic Compoanis by Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomass with Bifunctional Ga/ZSM-5 Catalysts

摘要

Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a promising technology for the production of renewable aromatic compounds including benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) directly from solid biomass. In this single-step process, biomass including wood, agricultural wastes, and fast-growing energy crops is fed into a fluidized-bed reactor where the biomass first thermally decomposes to form pyrolysis vapors.
