Lignin, an aromatic constituent of woody biomass, is a potential renewable aromatic
feedstock for a sustainable future carbon economy. Pyrolysis-based technologies, such as …

In recent years, there have been emerging studies on developing different techniques to
improve the properties of pyrolysis bio-oil. One of such techniques is the co-pyrolysis of …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

This review presents and discusses the progress in combining fast pyrolysis and catalytic
hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) to produce liquid fuel from solid, lignocellulosic biomass. Fast …

Considerable worldwide interest exists in discovering renewable energy sources that can
substitute for fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass, the most abundant and inexpensive …

This work reports the first detailed investigation of the physicochemical properties of the
pecan nutshell waste (PNS) and its suitability for pyrolytic conversion into bioenergy and bio …

The review describes recent knowledge acquired in the thermal degradation of lignin as an
approach to obtaining valuable chemicals or hydrocarbon fuel. Information on the …

Advances in heterogeneous catalysis are driven by the structure–function relationships that
define catalyst performance (ie, activity, selectivity, lifetime). To understand these …

Prior to the discovery of inexpensive fossil fuels, our society was dependent on plant
biomass to meet its energy demands. The discovery of crude oil, in the 19th century, created …

Fast pyrolysis utilizes biomass to produce a product that is used both as an energy source
and a feedstock for chemical production. Considerable efforts have been made to convert …
