Microwave-assisted catalytic pyrolysis of switchgrass for improving bio-oil and biochar properties
Abstract
Solid additives were used as a microwave absorber to improve the low microwave absorption rate of switchgrass going through pyrolysis, and as a catalyst to improve the bio-oil and biochar characteristics. The synergistic effects were manifested in the presence of a mixture of K3PO4 and clinoptilolite or bentonite compared with single catalyst, resulting in increased microwave absorption rate, and improved bio-oil and biochar quality. The sample of microwave heating switchgrass with 10wt.% K3PO4+10wt.% bentonite reached 400°C after 2.8min, compared with 28.8min through conventional heating, producing biochar with increase in BET surface area from 0.33m(2)/g to 76.3m(2)/g compared with conventional heating. Furthermore, water content of the bio-oil reduced from 22.7 to 15.0wt.% compared with biomass mixed with 20wt.% SiC, a chemically-inert microwave absorbing material used to increase microwave heating. Introducing catalysts showed a great potential for accelerating microwave heating and improving bio-oil and biochar qualities.

In the citing paper
“The microwave heating of 10 wt.% K3PO4 + 10 wt.% bentonite reached 400°C after 2.8min, while the conventional heating was 28.8min, the heating time of adding microwave was reduced to less than 1/10 of the conventional heating time.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
