METHODS FOR PRODUCING PHASE STABLE, REDUCED ACID BIOMASS-DERIVED PYROLYSIS OILS

摘要

Methods for producing phase stable, reduced acid biomass-derived pyrolysis oils are provided. Biomass-derived pyrolysis oil having a determined water content no greater than about 30% by weight is provided. A base is mixed with the biomass-derived pyrolysis oil to produce reduced acid biomass-derived pyrolysis oil. A base is selected from an inorganic base or a nitrogen-containing base.
