CO-PROCESSING OF BIOMASS AND SYNTHETIC POLYMER BASED MATERIALS IN A PYROLYSIS CONVERSION PROCESS

摘要

Disclosed is a process for biomass conversion which includes co-processing the biomass with thermoplastic and non-thermoplastic polymer based materials in a catalytic pyrolysis reactor to convert such to liquid hydrocarbons; wherein hydrogen atoms originating with the polymer materials can remove oxygen from oxygenated hydrocarbons produced in the conversion of the biomass in the reactor.
