Thermogravimetric analysis of pyrolysis of Delonix regia biomass in the presence of zeolite, mixed metal oxides and carbon supported noble metal catalysts

A review on thermochemical based biorefinery catalyst development progress

“…Metal catalysts in the forms of metals, metal oxides and metal salts have been used to upgrade the products from the pyrolysis of biomass. [233][234][235] Depending on the types of metals, they showed different tendencies for cracking, aromatization and deoxygenation reactions (Table 5). 203,[236][237][238][239][240][241][242][243] For instance, Ni showed a high tendency for cracking and aromatization, while Cs had a high tendency for the deoxygenation reaction.…”
