AbstractThis study aims to compare the potential of Virginia mallow to other high yielding perennial grasses and hardwoods by characterising and comparing fast pyrolysis product yields. Feedstocks selected for this study include miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus), Virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita), willow short rotation coppice (SRC) (Salix viminalis) and oak (Quercus robur). The experimental work was split into two sections: analytical (Py–GC–MS) and laboratory-scale processing using a 300 g h−1continuous bubbling fluidised bed reactor. Pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC–MS) has been used to quantify pyrolysis products from these feedstocks by simulating fast pyrolysis heating rates using a CDS 5200 pyrolyser closed coupled to a PerkinElmer Clarus 680 GC–MS. High bio-oil yields were achieved for Virginia mallow, willow SRC and oak (65.36, 62.55 and 66.43 wt% respectively), but miscanthus only produced a yield of 53.46 wt% due to increased feedstock ash content. The water content in the bio-oil is highest from miscanthus (17.64 wt%) and relatively low in the Virginia mallow and hardwoods willow SRC and oak (12.49, 13.88 and 14.53 wt%). Similar high yields of bio-oil and low yields of char and non-condensable gas compared to willow SRC make Virginia mallow an attractive feedstock for fast pyrolysis processing.Graphic Abstract
