Abstract

Catalytic upgrading of bio-oil was carried out over Ga modified ZSM-5 for the pyrolysis of sawdust in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. Effect of gas velocity (Uo/Umf) on the yield of pyrolysis products was investigated. The maximum yield of oil products was found to be about 60% at the Uo/Umf of 4.0. The yield of gas was increased as catalyst added. HZSM-5 shows the larger gas yield than Ga/HZSM-5. When bio-oil was upgraded with HZSM-5 or Ga/HZSM-5, the amount of aromatics in product increased. Product yields over Ga/HZSM-5 shows higher amount of aromatic components such as benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) than HZSM-5.
