Catalytic pyrolysis-GC/MS of lignin from several sources

Lignin from four different sources, extracted by various methods, were pyrolyzed at 650 °C using analytical pyrolysis methods (Py-GC/MS). Pyrolysis was carried out in the absence and presence of two heterogeneous catalysts, an acidic zeolite (HZSM-5) catalyst and a mixed metal oxide catalyst (CoO…
