Pyrolysis liquids from lignocellulosic biomass have the potential to be used as a feed for aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) using catalytic upgrading with zeolites. We here report an experimental study on the conversion of various pyrolysis oil fractions to determine the most suitable one for BTX synthesis. For this purpose, the pyrolysis liquid was fractionated using several extraction/distillation steps to give four fractions with different chemical compositions.

- * A catalytic co-conversion strategy using a specific catalyst at high temperatures showed that mixing glycerol with oleic acid significantly improved the yield and quality of bio-based aromatics (BTX).
- * The study revealed that both glycerol and the added co-feed contribute to the final aromatics produced, and the findings can inform better strategies for maximizing BTX production.
