Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbons production via the catalytic fast pyrolysis of lignin over acid activated bentonite clay (mainly montmorillonite) and supported prepared mesoporous silicate was evaluated. Furthermore the influence of tuning the nature of the active sites in the catalyst on the aromatic yields and selectivities was investigated. Mesoporous materials (Zeolite - like) are anticipated to be more advantageous catalysts for lignin pyrolysis due to their large pore size and surface area, with the condition if they are provided with strong Bronsted acid sites. In this concern, the microporous Zeolite, the most widely studied in the last years for the catalytic fast pyrolysis of lignin are associated with series of problems: the rapid deactivation due to the coke formation beside low selectivity towards monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
