Review of the Chemical Composition of Fast-Pyrolysis Oils from Biomass

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

As part of our thermochemical program for biofuels, power and chemicals from biomass we have undertaken a comprehensive review of the past literature on the detailed chemical composition of 'fast' or 'flash' pyrolysis oils produced under conditions that minimize secondary cracking. Such a review is complicated by the great variety of pyrolysis techniques and conditions used to produce the oils.In addition, almost every researcher in the past twenty years has used a different feedstock, the Canadian standard aspen being a notable exception. This paper will summarize our early findings, including a list of compounds reported, and their quantitation. Where quantitative yields are available, an attempt has been made to relate yields to feedstocks and conditions of pyrolysis.
