INVESTIGATION OF HIERARCHICAL PORE STRUCTURE ZEOLITES FOR BIOMASS CATALYTIC FAST PYROLYSIS

摘要

Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a promising process for the conversion of biomass to liquid hydrocarbons and commodity chemicals. ZSM-5 zeolite has been shown to be an effective CFP catalyst due to its shape selective pore structure. However, low bio- oil yields and quality, and coke formation continue to be a problem plaguing widespread industrialization of the CFP process.
