Abstract

The catalytic pyrolysis of biomass is a sustainable approach for biofuel production, contributing to replacing fossil resources with renewable resources. The ZSM-5 zeolite remains an attractive catalyst in the catalytic pyrolysis of biomass, and how to reduce the product diffusion resistance and regulate the surface acidity of ZSM-5 should be explored more deeply. Herein, a hierarchical gallium-modified ZSM-5@SBA-15 catalyst is fabricated through coating a mesoporous layered SBA-15 shell on a hollow ZSM-5 core with gallium modified on the surface, which is effective for increasing hydrocarbon production during the catalytic pyrolysis of biomass process. The synergistic effect of hollowness, mesoporosity, and activity in the hierarchical gallium-modified ZSM-5@SBA-15 catalysts is found to affect the yield and quality of bio-oil. Accordingly, the hierarchical gallium-modified ZSM-5@SBA-15 catalyst with 11 wt% Ga loading exhibits a superior deoxygenation ability, and the relative content of hydrocarbons in bio-oil reach to 49.76 area% which is much higher than that of ZSM-5 (35.30 area%). Furthermore, a possible catalytic pyrolysis mechanism of biomass was also proposed to clarify the potential application of hierarchical gallium-modified ZSM-5@SBA-15 catalysts.
