Abstract

Herein, we proposed new two-stage processing of blackcurrant pomace toward a value-added, hydrocarbon-rich biocrude fraction. The approach consisted of thermochemical liquefaction of a wet-type organic matter into liquid biocrude followed by its upgrade by thermal and catalytic pyrolysis. Particularly, we put effort into investigating the effect of selected catalysts (ZSM-5 and HY zeolite) on the composition of the volatiles released during the pyrolysis of the biocrude. The latter was obtained through liquefaction of the raw material in the binary solvent system of water and isopropanol. The biocrude yield accounted for ca. 45 wt.% of the initial dry biomass. It was a complex mixture of various component groups with an abundant share of oxygenates, especially carboxylic acids and esters. Thereafter, the biocrude was subjected to a pyrolysis study performed by means of the microscale coupled pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique (Py-GC-MS). The dominant components identified in the catalytic pyrolytic volatiles were unsaturated hydrocarbons (both cyclic and aliphatic ones) and, to a lesser extent, oxygen and nitrogen compounds. The addition of the ZSM-5 and HY zeolite allowed us to attain the relative total share of hydrocarbons in the volatile fraction equal to 66% and 73%, respectively (in relation to identified compounds). Thus, catalytic pyrolysis over zeolites seems to be particularly prospective due to the promotion of the deoxygenation reactions, which manifested in the noticeable decrease in the share of oxygen compounds in the evolved volatiles. The developed innovative two-stage processing of blackcurrant pomaces allows for obtaining value-added products that could serve as chemicals, biocomponents, and self-contained biofuels as well as bioplastic precursors. The presented contribution brings some new insights into the field of valorization of residuals generated by the food industry sector.
