Research output: NRELPoster

Abstract

Coproduction of biochemicals from the thermochemical conversion of biomass is a strategy to reduce biofuel costs and improve bio-oil quality in an integrated biorefinery. (Challenge) Cost effective separations of coproducts from thermochemical conversion streams remains a challenge largely due to the heterogenous nature and stability of thermochemical conversion streams. (Solution) Bio-based insecticides isolated from catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) oils are a viable coproduct that can overcome the oil is more stable, they are a high value product, and they can remain a mixture of components. (Approach) This work focuses on the development of a bio-based insecticide coproduct that is distilled from a catalytic fast pyrolysis bio-oil produced using a platinum on titanium dioxide (Pt/TiO2) catalyst to upgrade pyrolysis vapors.
