Abstract
The utilization of biomass pyrolysis oils or isolated fractions of these feedstocks requires a fast overall characterization technique. Several pyrolysis oils have been analyzed as well as fractions isolated by solvent elution chromatography. In order to better understand the observed low-molecular-weight region, a number of model substances of the main classes of compounds found in pyrolysis oils have been investigated. While hydrogen bonding between the phenolic groups and tetrahydrofuran occurs, solute-solute interactions can be kept very small by operating at very low concentrations of solute; solute-gel interactions do occur with polycyclic aromatic compounds. HPSEC provides very good information on the shelf life and reactivity of pyrolysis oils, and can be used to compare oils produced under different process conditions.
