Abstract

Pyrolysis bio-oils are promising renewable feedstock that can be used as biofuels and for the production of valuable oxygencontaining chemicals. A more widespread use of bio-oils from a lignocellulosic biomass requires more detailed knowledge of their composition. In this work, we prepared bio-oils via the pyrolysis of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin (i.e. main building blocks of lignocellulose). For the obtained bio-oils, we performed analyses of basic physical and chemical properties and a comprehensive chemical characterization also. The results obtained for these structurally less complex bio-oils can be helpful to understand the chemical composition of whole bio-oils in more detail. Recent Publications 1.
