Abstract:Biomass has been offered as a sustainable replacement to fossil fuels since it can be converted into chemicals and liquid fuels. Recent years have seen a surge in interest in the feasibility of combining biomass rapid pyrolysis and bio-oil catalytic upgrading to produce liquid biofuels. There would be no progress in this process without the catalysts. Although progress has been achieved, problems with catalyst selectivity and inactivation persist despite these efforts. Many catalysts have proven effective, lea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
