“…Kim investigated effects of oxygen (ER = 0.034 -0.539) on red oak bubbling fluidized bed pyrolysis (and a further study on combining alkaline and alkaline earth metal (AAEM)-passivation with autothermal pyrolysis to achieve 67% hydrolysable sugar yield [56]), suggesting vinylphenols and methoxyphenols are oxidized to aldehyde and ketone-containing compounds. Li et al, also investigating bubbling fluidized bed oxidative pyrolysis, achieved autothermal operation at 0.08g-O2/g-biomass, and similarly to Kim et al [71], observed high reactivity of acetic acid, hydroxylpropanone, LG, and methoxy/vinylphenols [66]. Additionally, Li quantified a ¼ -1 ⁄3 reduction in bio-oil energy density, possibly due to the high oxygen concentrations used (here, autothermal was defined as inclusive of parasitic heat loss from bed to surrounding environment) [66].…”
