Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the thermal decomposition of 2-cyclopentenone during biomass pyrolysis, utilizing both experimental techniques and theoretical models.
  • Gas-phase pyrolysis experiments were conducted at high temperatures, revealing various products like carbon monoxide and different hydrocarbons through FTIR spectroscopy.
  • Five distinct decomposition pathways were identified, including multiple H atom migrations and C-C bond ruptures, leading to the formation of compounds such as acrolein, propane derivatives, and intermediates like cyclopropenone.
