Abstract

Harvesting of forest residual biomass contributes to regulating wildfires during hot and dry seasons. The collected biomass can be converted into liquid biofuel by pyrolysis. Simple pyrolysis procedures such as slow pyrolysis will allow to dimension and design of mobile pyrolysis units to avoid biomass transportation fees and guarantee efficient management of forest residues. Portuguese forest wastes, particularly biomass from maritime pinus and eucalyptus globulus, were characterized by thermogravimetry and pyrolyzed in a fixed bed reactor, at 698 K, using commercial alkali carbonates and zeolites, bauxite ores, and marble dust as catalysts. Pyrolysis data for mixed biomasses showed the existence of synergy effects. The catalytic pyrolysis experiments led to improved bio-oil quality for all the tested catalysts. The bio-oil produced from pyrolysis with sodium carbonate was the most volatile, since the maximum peak of the volatilization rate is at 390 K, while the bio-oils produced by the remaining catalysts have maximum volatilization at 410 K. Marble dust, a waste from ornamental stones industry, revealed excellent catalytic properties during biomass pyrolysis, allowing an improved bio-oil yield with a decrease in the oxygen-containing functional groups.
