Catalytic pyrolysis of biomass waste using montmorillonite-supported ultrafine iron nanoparticles for enhanced bio-oil yield and quality
The catalytic fast pyrolysis process is a promising method for converting biomass waste into bio-oil, where the catalyst plays a crucial role in determining the yield and quality of the products. In this study, ultrafine iron nanoparticles were incorporated onto a montmorillonite substrate through the pyrolyzing coordinated polymer method to enhance liquid fuel production via catalytic pyrolysis of biomass waste. The catalyst showed a uniform distribution of iron on the montmorillonite surface, indicating that the incorporation was successful. Catalytic pyrolysis led to an increase in liquid yields and a decrease in gas product yields compared to direct pyrolysis. The highest bio-oil yield obtained was 56.9% during the catalytic pyrolysis of corncob, which was found to be particularly well-suited for the production of bio-oil. Furthermore, the proposed reaction pathway was based on identifying the composition of the bio-oil, which was further supported by quantum chemical calculations of chemical bond strength and the likelihood of free radical attacks. These findings demonstrate the potential of using montmorillonite-supported ultrafine iron nanoparticles to enhance bio-oil yield and quality in biomass pyrolysis processes.
