Production of Phenols by Lignocellulosic Biomass Pyrolysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Production of Biofuels and Chemicals with Pyrolysis

Part of the book series: Biofuels and Biorefineries ((BIOBIO,volume 10))

Abstract

Phenols are a class of aromatic compounds that have at least one benzene ring joined with a hydroxyl group. Phenols are widely used in the manufacture of chemicals, resins, synthetic fibers, pesticides, and dyes and products made from phenols have become an indispensable part of modern life. The simplest form of phenols is phenol, which is industrially prepared on a very large scale from petroleum. Fossil-based chemicals like fossil phenol, however, face depletion in the near future. Hence, the demand for renewable chemicals is increasing, and this will also enhance opportunities of sustainable products. Biomass pyrolysis is an attractive route to produce valuable bio-chemicals. Representative bio-chemicals made via pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass are phenols, acetic acid, levoglucosan, and furfural. This chapter deals with the production of renewable phenols, especially phenol, from lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis. Types of lignocellulosic biomass used in pyrolysis processes, and effect of reaction conditions on the production of phenols are discussed along with applications of phenolic-rich bio-oils.
