Microwave Pyrolysis of Biomass: Control of Process Parameters for High Pyrolysis Oil Yields and Enhanced Oil Quality

摘要: The oil yield and quality of pyrolysis from microwave heating biomass was established by studying the behaviour Larch in processing. This is first study to use a processing technique methodology that fundamentally scalable, which basis design for continuous system can be derived maximise quality. It shown systematically sample size vital parameter has been overlooked previous work this field. When controlled liquid product comparable conventional pyrolysis, achieved at an energy input around 600 kWh/t. significantly improved compared processes, results very rapid quenching with yields Levoglucosan phenolic compounds were found order magnitude higher when fast pyrolysis. Geometry key consideration development process scale, opportunities challenges scale-up are discussed within paper.
