Thermal Reactivity of Bio-Oil Produced from Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of biomass is a versatile thermochemical process for producing a biogenic oil that can be further upgraded to sustainable transportation fuels, chemicals, and materials. CFP oil exhibits reduced oxygen content and improved thermal stability compared to noncatalytic fast pyrolysis oil. However, some level of reactive oxygenates remain in CFP oils, and reactions between these species can result in molecular weight growth and increased viscosity, leading to the potential for challenges during transportation, storage, and downstream processing. Previous research has provided considerable insight into the reactivity of noncatalytic fast pyrolysis oils, but CFP oils have yet to be studied in a similar fashion. Consequently, the degree of catalytic upgrading that is
