Demineralization of wood using wood-derived acid: Towards a selective pyrolysis process for fuel and chemicals production

A process concept for the pyrolysis of demineralized wood to obtain high organic and especially levoglucosan yields is proposed and tested experimentally. The wood is demineralized using organic acids, produced and concentrated within the same pyrolysis process. Pine wood was pyrolyzed in a fluidize...
