Production of Fuel Range Hydrocarbons from Pyrolysis of Lignin over Zeolite Y, Hydrogen

In the current study, plain and lignin loaded with Zeolite Y, hydrogen was decomposed in a pyrolysis chamber. The reaction parameters were optimized 390 °C, 3% catalyst time of 40 min observed as most suitable conditions for better oil yield. bio-oil collected from catalyzed non-catalyzed pyrolytic reactions analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS). Catalytic resulted production consisting 15 components ranging C3 to C18 high percentage fuel range benzene derivatives. Non-catalytic produced that consists 58 C24; however, number quantity hydrocarbons lower than products. studied kinetically both samples using thermogravimetry at heating rates 5, 10, 20 °C/min temperature 20–600 °C. activation energies pre-exponential factors calculated Kissinger equation non-catalytic catalytic decomposition found be 157.96 kJ/mol, 141.33 2.66 × 1013 min?1 2.17 1010 min?1, respectively. It concluded worked well decrease energy enhance quality generated.
