Abstract: An in-situ decarbonization process using CaO-based composite catalysts in biomass pyrolysis was investigated. The composition and content of the product gas were analyzed via gas chromatography. Results showed that the CaO-based composite catalysts could perform in-situ adsorption of CO2 generated in biomass pyrolysis and thus achieve the targeted catalytic conversion of biomass. Using Fe-CaO and Ni-CaO composite catalysts in biomass pyrolysis, the liquid product yield could be reduced to less than 20%, whereas the gas product yield could be increased to as high as 67.1%. Under the catalytic pyrolysis condition of Ni-CaO, the H2 content could reach 52.9%, whereas the φ(H2)/φ(CO) reached 2.6. Consequently, the quality of the pyrolysis gas improved.

Key words: CaO, composite catalysts, in-situ decarbonization, pyrolysis, biomass
