The upgrading of bio-oil by catalytic transformation upon acidic catalysts is aimed at adapting its composition to that of conventional fuel, or at obtaining petrochemical raw materials, such as olefins and aromatics. A further alternative of growing interest for bio-oil upgrading is catalytic reforming for obtaining H2. The viability of any of these alternatives requires minimizing both the plugging problems that arise in the reactor when the bio-oil is fed and the rapid deactivation of the catalyst, which are associated with the thermal degradation of the lignocellulosic components. In this paper, the catalytic transformation of bio-oil (obtained by fast pyrolysis of vegetable biomass) in a fluidized bed reactor upon a Ni-HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst has been studied, and special attention has been paid to the design of the feed preheating zone. Operation in a single-unit (U-shaped steel tube) for the thermal treatment of the bio-oil (in the downward zone of the U-tube) and its catalytic transformation (in a fluidized bed located in the upward zone of the U-tube) has been compared with operation in a two-unit system, where both steps are carried out in separate units connected through a thermostated line (U-shaped tube for thermal treatment, followed by a fluidized bed reactor for catalytic transformation). It has been proven that a separate step of thermal treatment prior to the catalytic transformation notably improves the global process of bio-oil upgrading. Firstly, it contributes to minimizing coke deposition on the acidic catalyst, mainly the deposition of "thermal" coke (which is associated with the thermal degradation of the bio-oil components at high temperatures), leading to an important attenuation of catalyst deactivation. Secondly, the bio-oil components degraded in the thermal treatment can subsequently be subjected to another upgrading treatment (by steam activation or pyrolysis) in order to obtain a high quality char, which involves upgrading the entire bio-oil.

Bio-oil can serve as an alternative fuel source or resource to extract high value-added chemicals. This paper focuses on the effect of six types of biomass (rape straw, corn straw, walnut shell, chestnut shell, camphor wood, and pine wood) and ZnCl2 catalyst on the bio-oil yield and chemicals in the bio-oil, including aldehydes, ketones, and four high-value chemicals (1-hydroxy-2-butanone, propionaldehyde, 5-HMF, 2(5H)-furanon). The results showed that the yields of bio-oil decreased when the ZnCl2 was the catalyst. The ZnCl2 promoted the production of aldehydes and ketones. The higher contents of aldehydes and ketones were obtained from camphor and pine wood, at 58.9 wt% and 42.0 wt%, respectively. The ZnCl2 catalyst exhibited an active influence on the production of 1-hydroxy-2-butanone, propionaldehyde, 5-HMF, and 2(5H)-furanon. Compared with the non-catalytic pyrolysis, the content of 1-hydroxy-2-butanone and 2(5H)-furanone in bio-oil increased by 936% and 612%, respectively. The contents of propionaldehyde and 5-HMF in catalytic bio-oil were the highest from rape straw and increased by 193% and 86%, respectively.

A new recyclable catalyst for pyrolysis has been developed by combining calculations and experimental methods. In order to understand the properties of the new cluster designed catalysts, cellulose (a major component of plants) as a biomass model compound was pyrolyzed and catalyzed with different cluster designed catalysts. The NiaFeb (2 ≤ a + b ≤ 6) catalyst clusters structures were calculated by using Gaussian and Materials Studio software to determine the relationships between catalyst structure and bio-oil components, which is essential to design cluster designed catalysts that can improve bio-oil quality. GC-MS analysis of the bio-oil was used to measure the effects on the different catalyst interactions with cellulose. It was found that the NiFe cluster designed catalysts can increase the yield of bio-oil from 35.8% ± 0.9% to 41.1% ± 0.6% and change the bio-oil composition without substantially increasing the water content, while substantially decreasing the sugar concentration from 40.1% ± 1.3% to 27.5% ± 0.9% and also producing a small amount of hydrocarbon compounds. The catalyst with a high Ni ratio also had high Gibbs free energy, ΔG, likely also influencing the decrease of sugar and acid while increasing the ketone concentrations. These results indicate the theoretical calculations can enhance the design next-generation cluster designed catalysts to improve bio-oil composition based upon experiments.
