Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass is a potential source of renewable energy. Catalytic fast-pyrolysis batch process was initially performed to convert oil palm EFB into bio-oil, followed by its refinement to jet bio-fuel. Crystalline zeolites A and Y; synthesised from rice husk ash (RHA), were applied as heterogeneous catalysts. The catalytic conversion of oil palm EFB to bio-oil was conducted at a temperature range of 320-400°C with zeolite A catalyst loadings of 0.6 - 3.0 wt%. The zeolite catalysts were characterised by XRD, FTIR and FESEM. The bio-oil and jet bio-fuel products were analysed using GC-MS and FTIR. The batch fast-pyrolysis reaction was optimised at 400°C with a catalyst loading of 1.0 wt%, produced 42.7 wt% yields of liquid bio-oil, 35.4 wt% char and 21.9 wt% gaseous products. Analysis by GCMS indicates the compound distribution of the liquid bio-oil are as follows: hydrocarbons (23%), phenols (61%), carboxylic acids (0.7%), ketones (2.7%), FAME (7.7%) and alcohols (0.8%). Further refinement of the liquid bio-oil by catalytic hydrocracking over zeolite Y produced jet bio-fuel, which contains 63% hydrocarbon compounds (C8-C18) and 16% of phenolic compounds.

With the aggravation of the energy crisis and environmental problems, biomass resource, as a renewable carbon resource, has received great attention. Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a promising technology, which can convert solid biomass into high value liquid fuel, bio-char and syngas. Catalyst plays a vital role in the rapid pyrolysis, which can increase the yield and selectivity of aromatics and other products in bio-oil. In this paper, the traditional zeolite catalysts and metal modified zeolite catalysts used in CFP are summarized. The influence of the catalysts on the yield and selectivity of the product obtained from pyrolysis was discussed. The deactivation and regeneration of the catalyst were discussed. Catalytic co-pyrolysis (CCP) and microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) are new technologies developed in traditional pyrolysis technology. CCP improves the problem of hydrogen deficiency in the biomass pyrolysis process and raises the yield and character of pyrolysis products, through the co-feeding of biomass and hydrogen-rich substances. The pyrolysis reactions of biomass and polymers (plastics and waste tires) in CCP were reviewed to obtain the influence of co-pyrolysis on composition and selectivity of pyrolysis products. The catalytic mechanism of the catalyst in CCP and the reaction path of the product are described, which is very important to improve the understanding of co-pyrolysis technology. In addition, the effects of biomass pretreatment, microwave adsorbent, catalyst and other reaction conditions on the pyrolysis products of MAP were reviewed, and the application of MAP in the preparation of high value-added biofuels, activated carbon and syngas was introduced.

The industrial utilization of lignocellulosic biomass is often accompanied by lots of lignin residues. Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a high-throughput method to convert lignin to aromatics and phenolics. In order to optimize catalytic performance, conventional zeolite catalysts often need to have mesostructural modification. Here, based on hierarchical zeolite (HZ), a novel micro-mesoporous composite zeolite was obtained by redeposition under mild conditions. The conversion of two industrial lignin residues, Kraft Lignin (KL) and Pyrolytic Lignin (PL), was investigated. Interestingly, the hierarchical sample was more suitable for the case of higher concentration of primary pyrolysis products such as CFP of PL, with aromatics yield of 12.7 wt % and a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) mass ratio of 4.86. The mesoporous composite zeolite possessed a better PAHs suppression capability as M/P reached 6.06, and was suitable for low reactants’ concentration and high oxygen content, such as KL CFP, with a higher aromatics yield of 3.3 wt % and M/P of 5.12. These results were compared with poplar sawdust as actual biomass, and mesoporous samples were both highly efficient catalysts with MAHs yield over 10 wt % and M/P around 5.
