Zeolite/nano metal oxide composite catalyst for biomass pyrolysis

N
owadays energy and nanotechnology are both promising
issues all over the world. Considerable attention has
been paid to the nanosized metal oxides due to their unique
properties and/or potential applications in several areas such
as biomedical applications, optic and electronic, sorbents,
sensors, catalysis. Only limited works are available on the
conversion of biomass by using nanosizedmetal oxide catalysts.
Due to the financial, environmental and national problems
of conventional fossil fuels, biomass is the only sustainable
source of carbon that can be used to make renewable fuels
and chemicals. Turkey has always been one of the major
agricultural countries of the world. The importance of
agriculture is increasing due to biomass energy being a major
resource of Turkey. Much attention has been focused on
new suitable biomass species which can provide high-energy
outputs and have serious stocks for the sustainability. Among
various agricultural residues, olive oil residue and hazelnut
shell are coming into prominence due to their huge stocks.
ZSM-5 is an efficient catalyst to convert oxygenated
organic compounds into hydrocarbons. The deoxygenation,
decarboxylation, and decarbonylation reactions of the bio-oil
components, cracking, alkylation, isomerization, cyclization,
oligomerization, and aromatization are catalyzed by acidic
sites of the zeolite. H-ZSM-5 that is activated at 500°C has
predominantly Brønsted acid sites; however, especially at
higher temperatures, Lewis acid sites form, resulting in
dehydroxylation reactions. Surface acidity of anatase TiO

is
the Lewis type. The aim of this study is the investigation of
the catalytic effect of ZMS-5/nano TiO

composites on the
pyrolysis of model and real biomasses. With and without
catalysts experiments were conducted to compare the
catalytic effect of ZSM-5, nano TiO

, Degussa P25 and bulk TiO
