Abstract

Poplar biomass of nine different genotypes, from short rotation coppice, was pyrolyzed in a fixed bed reactor using several solid catalysts. Pine bark was used as reference for uncatalyzed pyrolysis. Pyrolysis tests were performed for temperatures in the range 425–500 °C, selected from the thermal degradation profiles obtained by thermogravimetry under N2 flow. All the analyzed poplar genotypes showed similar pyrolysis behavior, with the highest bio-oil yield (53% average value) being obtained for the highest tested temperature (500 °C). In analogous conditions, the pine bark resulted in higher bio-char yields than poplar biomass, due to its larger lignin content.
