Title: Accelerated Aging of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oil Using Carbonyl Titration: Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1825868· OSTI ID:1825868

This laboratory analytical procedure covers the accelerated aging of fast pyrolysis bio-oils. Bio-oils undergo reactions that result in physical and chemical changes over time. These changes typically result in an increase in molecular weight, decrease in some functional groups such as carbonyls, and an increase in viscosity; additionally, the aging process often leads to phase separation. Studies have shown that accelerated aging of bio-oils using this method closely mimics room temperature aging for long periods of time (over 3 years). This procedure has been developed for the accelerated aging of fast pyrolysis bio-oils only. Fast pyrolysis bio-oils are more reactive than other bio-oils (e.g., catalytic fast pyrolysis) and undergo aging much more rapidly. Therefore, this procedure should only be used for fast pyrolysis bio-oil samples.
