Catalytic pyrolysis of biomass of solid compounds used for gasoline production

Abstract

The article examines the latest achievements of foreign researchers whose key focus is to obtain gasoline fractions from the biomass of solid compounds using catalytic pyrolysis for its further use in industrial sectors. The biomass of solid compounds is studied as a raw material for production of gasoline fractions due to its low cost and high availability. In addition, several ways for obtaining and converting biomass are studied. At high temperatures (up to 800° C) solid is used to produce synthesis gas by partial oxidation in an autothermal packed bed reactor over catalysts. Biomass is an acidic flammable liquid containing more than 300 compounds. Industrial biomass is not compatible with existing liquid transportation fuels, including gasoline and diesel. In order to use biomass as a conventional liquid transport fuel, it must be catalytically modernized.
