Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Reactor with Gallium Promoted Zsm-5 Catalyst

Optimization of biomass fast pyrolysis for the production of monomers

Fast pyrolysis is a promising method for producing advanced biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. The process will however require further optimization to produce fuels and chemicals at a price competitive to conventional fossil fuel-derived products. Research in this dissertation focuses on both preand postprocesses for optimizing fast pyrolysis to produce increased yields of va...

Modeling & Simulation of Pyrolysis of Biomass: Effect of Thermal Conductivity, Reactor Temperature and Particle Size on Product Concentrations

The simultaneous chemical kinetics and heat transfer model is used to predict the effects of the most important physical and thermal properties (thermal conductivity, reactor temperature and particle size) of the feedstock on the convective-radiant pyrolysis of biomass fuels. The effects of these parameters have been analyzed for different geometries such as slab, cylinder and sphere. Finite di...
