Production of clean pyrolytic sugars for fermentation.
TL;DR: The optimal candidate is NaOH overliming, which results in maximum growth measurements with the use of ethanol-producing Escherichia coli, and the effective removal of contaminants from the separated pyrolytic sugars to produce a substrate suitable for fermentation without hydrolysis.

Process intensification of biomass fast pyrolysis through autothermal operation of a fluidized bed reactor
TL;DR: In this article, partial oxidation of pyrolysis products was used to provide the enthalpy for pyrolynsis in a fluidized bed reactor, a process that can be described as autothermal pyrotechnics.

The effect of pyrolysis temperature on recovery of bio-oil as distinctive stage fractions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the recovery of various products of red oak using a fractionating bio-oil recovery system, and found that the majority of compounds found in the heavy ends of biooil (SF 1-2) ranged from oligomeric monomers to tetramers.

Conventional and autothermal pyrolysis of corn stover: Overcoming the processing challenges of high-ash agricultural residues
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated fast pyrolysis of high ash, herbaceous biomass in a pilot-scale fluidized bed reactor using both conventional, nitrogen-blown and autothermal, air-blown operation.

Stabilization of bio-oils using low temperature, low pressure hydrogenation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored low-temperature, low-pressure (LTLP) hydrogenation of pyrolysis-derived phenolics over 10% palladium on activated carbon (Pd/C) at 21°C and 1bar pressure.
