Natural Catalysts for Molten Cellulose Pyrolysis to Targeted Bio-Oils
- Univ. of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN (United States); University of Minnesota
Catalysis of biomass biopolymer cellulose by alkaline earth metals is a fundamental chemistry relevant to energy processes including combustion, pyrolysis and gasification. In this work, the catalytic decomposition of cellulose by calcium ions was evaluated at high temperature (400-500°C) to elucidate the chemical mechanisms leading to the formation of volatile organic compounds.
