Pyrolysis of Wood/Biomass for Bio-oil: A Critical Review
@article{Mohan2006PyrolysisOW, title={Pyrolysis of Wood/Biomass for Bio-oil: A Critical Review}, author={Dinesh Mohan and and Charles U. Pittman and Philip H. Steele}, journal={Energy \& Fuels}, year={2006}, volume={20}, pages={848-889} }
Fast pyrolysis utilizes biomass to produce a product that is used both as an energy source and a feedstock for chemical production. Considerable efforts have been made to convert wood biomass to liquid fuels and chemicals since the oil crisis in mid-1970s. This review focuses on the recent developments in the wood pyrolysis and reports the characteristics of the resulting bio-oils, which are the main products of fast wood pyrolysis. Virtually any form of biomass can be considered for fast…
