Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, three main components of biomass, were pyrolyzed over catalysts such as silicaalumina, HZSM-5, HY, Mordenite, Beta and MCM-41, and the kinetic experiments for the catalytic pyrolysis reactions were conducted. The results indicated that by using the solid acid catalysts more stable oil was produced by transforming oxygen, which was the main cause for the instability of bio-oil, into H2O, CO and CO2, even though there was not significant difference in degradation temperature in the presence of catalysts.

바이오매스의 구성성분인 셀룰로오즈, 리그닌, 헤미셀룰로오즈에 대한 동역학과 촉매 접촉 열분해 반응을 수행하였다. 사용된 촉매는 실리카-알루미나, HZSM-5, HY, mordenite, beta, MCM-41 등이었으며, 촉매를 사용함으로써 바이오매스의 분해 온도를 낮추지는 못하였다. 그러나 촉매는 바이오 오일의 불안정성의 원인중 하나인 산소를 H2O, CO, CO2의 형태로 제거하여 보다 더 안정한 오일을 생성하였다.
