Catalytic upgrading of Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) pyrolysis vapor using WO3 supported on RHA and RHA-MCM-41

Recently, zeolites have been widely applied in catalytic pyrolysis to improve physical and chemical properties of bio-oil to produce energy or to selectively produce chemicals for industry. This study aims to analyze the catalytic pyrolysis products of Elephant Grass (EG) using WO3 catalysts support...
