Application of MgO-Titanomagnetite mixture in high-temperature catalytic pyrolysis of radiata pine

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of MgO and titanomagnetite mixture on high-temperature pyrolysis radiata pine wood in a fluidised bed reactor at 850 °C. The catalytic performance MgO-titanomagnetite (MgO-TM) was experimentally evaluated based product distribution, gas composition, properties, tar composition. results revealed that addition resulted decrease yield (67.2 wt.%) compared (TM) alone (72.9 wt.%), but an improvement found (63.9 wt.%). hydrogen concentration significantly enhanced (23.2 vol.%) (12.8 or non-catalytic (NC) (14.1 similar with (22.6 vol.%). However, reduction CO 2.7 vol.% whereas increased 2 light olefins formation. It also total ethylene propylene (18.3 (5.8 vol.%), (9.0 (12.0 lower heating value H ratio (17.5 MJ/Nm 3 8.7) were improved mixture. These findings demonstrate application physically mixed as catalyst is promising method for converting biomass into -rich via pyrolysis. offers useful reference development novel systems conversion.
