Abstract

In this work EFB was chemically pretreated with different sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration. Pyrolysis was conducted in the presence of HZSM-5 after the pretreatment step to assess the effects of pretreatment process on bio-oil production. Conversions of EFB were reported to be 61 wt 47 wt and 42 wt after pretreatment with 5 wt 15 wt and 25 wt NaOH concentrations respectively. Furthermore the pretreatment has effectively improved the bio-oil quality by reducing or even eliminating undesired products. Besides biomass structure was dissembled and converted to valuable compounds after upgrading the bio-oil with improved quality.
