Biomass pyrolysis for liquid fuels and chemicals: A review
Year: 2007
Type: review
Abstract: volatile matter, 80.0, 74.7; fixed carbon, 19.4, 24.0; and ash, 0.65%, 1.3%. Woody biomass consists of cellulose (C 6 H 10 O 5 ) x , hemicelluloses such as xylan (C 5 H 8 O 4 ) m , and lignin [C 9 H 10 O 3 (OCH 3 ) 0.9-1.7 ] n in trunk, foliage, and bark. Cellulose + hemicellulose contents 15,16 are more in hardwoods (78.8%) than softwoods (70.3%), but lignin is more in softwoods (29.2%) than hardwoods (21.7%). Biomass can be converted to ener gy by physical, biological and thermochemical processes. Physical processes are grinding, drying, filtration, pressing, extraction, and briquetting 17 .
