Valorisation of a lignin-rich residue via catalytic pyrolysis over ZrO2/ZSM-5 technical catalyst

The thermochemical valorisation of a lignin-rich residue has been investigated by thermal and catalytic pyrolysis. The catalyst, based on nanocrystalline ZSM-5, has been modified with ZrO2 and agglomerated with attapulgite (ZrO2/n-ZSM-5-ATP). Firstly, the effect of the temperature in thermal pyro…
