Abstract
Optimally loaded SrO (10 %) by weight on H-ZSM-5 for catalytic fixed bed downstream fast pyrolysis of lignin is further investigated. The effect of reaction temperature ranging from 450°C to 750°C on lignin was examined and optimized at 550°C with a nitrogen gas flow of 0.5 liters per minute. Purified lignin to catalyst ratio as 25:5 (wt/wt) afforded a maximum 34.2 wt% bio-oil yield. It is compared with the bio-oil obtained without a catalyst based on percentage yield, product distribution, and quality. The metal oxide showed significant changes in the acidic properties of H-ZSM-5. All original characteristics, respectively, pore volume 0.0836 cm3g−1, surface area 253.039 m2g−1, and pore radius 1.62501 nm of H-ZSM-5 showed a decrease on further increase in metal beyond 10 %. The reaction temperature of pyrolysis over 550°C reduces the yield of bio-oil. ESI-MS of bio-oil obtained using a catalyst indicates an overall shift towards the low molecular weight compounds, decreased PDI, and relatively lesser oligomers studied up to 320 m/z ratio. Base sites of SrO promote the transformation of carboxylic acids into ketones, supporting the loss of oxygen. The role of the acidic site of H-ZSM-5 and base sites of SrO contribute to converting oxygenated compounds to phenols, including esters, acids, alcohols, and phenols hydrocarbons. Typically, hydroxy-acids, hydroxy-esters, etc, showed marked resistance to chemical transformation. In comparison, analysis of pyrolysis gas under optimized conditions shows a 2 % higher hydrogen content by volume. Although under slightly altered conditions, catalyst reuse is demonstrated with a fair response.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
