Models for Lignocellulose Thermochemical Conversion
Chemicals, fuels and energy must be produced from lignocellulosic plant-matter if global economies are to decarbonise. To be successful, these lignocellulose-derived products must compete in technical quality and price with fossil derived products. Thus, we must understand what lignocellulose is, and how its chemical structures react in thermochemical processing technologies, such as pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a promising method to produce valuable products from lignocellulose and the basic fundamental process of more complex thermochemical technologies, such as catalysis. Mod-L-T deciphers the elementary reaction mechanism and kinetics of lignocellulose pyrolysis. Relative to cellulose, the…
