Abstract

See full text

A process for pyrolyzing biomass comprises pyrolyzing cellulosic biomass in a fast pyrolysis chamber by heating the cellulosic biomass to a pyrolyzation temperature to generate a pyrolysis vapor flow therefrom. The pyrolysis vapor flow is directed from the fast pyrolysis chamber along a vapor flow conduit to a condensation trap at a temperature sufficient to condense the vapor to liquid and generate a thermal gradient along the vapor flow conduit between the pyrolysis chamber and condensation trap. A majority of the pyrolysis vapor flow along the vapor flow conduit to the condensation trap is achieved by natural convection. Systems that can practice this process are also disclosed.
