Research Project:

During the past decade, biomass has been recognized as a major world renewable energy source of fuels and chemicals due to environmental and sustainable reasons. Cellulosic biomass can be converted into useful forms of energy using a number of different processes such as gasification, pyrolysis and hydrolysis.

Bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass has several environmental advantages over fossil fuels as a clean fuel. It has no net releases of carbon dioxide. It generates more than 50% lower NOx emissions than diesel oil and no SOx emissions. Bio-oil also can serve as a substitute for fuel oil or diesel in many static applications, including boilers, furnaces, engines for vehicle, and turbines for electricity generation. However, bio-oil must be upgraded if it is to be used as the replacement because it has low heating value, high viscosity, incomplete volatility, and chemical instability due to a large amount of oxygen contents. Bio-oil can be upgrade by hydrodeoxygenation and zeolitic upgrading.

My research is focused on the upgrade of bio-oil obtained from fast pyrolysis by hydrodeoxygenation with bifunctional zeolites.
