peer reviewed / Bio-oils produced from the pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass are rich in oxygen, which causes instability and corrosion problems. Therefore, dedicated post-pyrolysis treatments such as hydrotreatment are required to increase the H/C ratio of the products to be used as fuel or chemicals. Here, a characterization method based on tw...
This doctoral thesis delves into the realm of biofuel production, emphasizing the critical characterization of trace components such as heteroatoms and metals within bio-oils derived from waste recycling and biomass. Through a series of methodological advancements and analytical explorations across six chapters, the research presents a comprehensiv...
Biomass residues and waste can be converted into bioliquids by pyrolysis, which can contribute to both the production of renewable fuels and the recycling of waste. In this paper, the pyrolysis of pure beech wood (BW) and of a mixture of BW + polyamide-6 (PA6), a nitrogen-containing plastic, was investigated to assess the effect of PA6 on the prope...
Biomass residues and waste can be converted into bioliquids by pyrolysis, which can contribute to both the production of renewable fuels and the recycling of waste. In this paper, the catalytic copyrolysis of mixtures of beech wood (BW) and polyamide-6 (PA6) in different ratios was investigated to assess the effect of PA6 concentration on the prope...
In 2016, fossil fuels represented about 80% of the world total primary energy supply. However, this resource is limited and has a huge impact on the environment pollution because of the production of greenhouse gases. In order to drastically reduce greenhouse gases emissions, a focus on biofuels, and especially bio-oils, is made in the industrial w...

This review covers the characteristics of pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis bio-oils by focusing on the fundamental factors that determine bio-oil upgradability. The abundant works on the subject of bio-oil production from lignocellulosic biomass were studied to establish the essential attributes of the bio-oils for assessment of the oil stability ...

[ES] La valorización de biomasa lignocelulósica y de sus derivados supone una alternativa sostenible frente a la utilización de fuentes fósiles para la producción de combustibles y productos químicos. En este contexto, el aprovechamiento de compuestos oxigenados presentes en efluentes acuosos derivados de tratamientos primarios de la biomasa (vía p...
The objective of this work was to investigate the ability of supercritical (SC) ethanol conditions to attack preferentially the lignin fraction against the carbohydrate fraction and their effects on the product distribution among gases, light products, bio-oils, and chars. In this study, the conversion of each pinewood component was determined by t...
