Abstract
The thermochemical conversion of biomass produces NOx precursors (e.g. NH3, HCN, and HCNO) and high-value-added nitrogenous products (e.g. pyrroles, pyridines, and indoles). The control of NOx precursors and regulation of nitrogenous chemicals are of great significance for environmental protection and biomass resource utilisation. However, the nitrogen transformation mechanism of biomass pyrolysis is not clear at present, which is not conducive to the regulation of pyrolysis products. In this review, the elemental and biochemical compositions and the N transformation directions of common N-rich biomass have been introduced. The advances in nitrogen transformation characteristics during typical model compounds (glutamic acid, aspartic acid, phenylalanine, proline and 2,5-diketopiperazines) and major biomass components pyrolysis have been summarized. The effects of experimental conditions such as pyrolysis parameters (temperature, heating rate), catalysts, and atmospheres on nitrogen migration have been analysed. Finally, nitrogen regulation strategies and future research directions on nitrogen reduction in bio-fuels and nitrogen enrichment in nitrogenous products have been proposed. This review can provide suggestions for NOx precursor control, high-quality nitrogenous chemical and multifunctional N-doped carbon product preparation during thermochemical conversion of biomass.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
