And the article was included in Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis in 2021.COA of Formula: C6H8S The following contents are mentioned in the article:
Only trace amounts of sulfur (tens to thousands of ppm) are present in bio-oils produced from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. However, even such small amounts of sulfur-containing compounds can act as catalytic poisons during bio-oil upgrading. To improve the knowledge of sulfur speciation in bio-oils for process design and development, e.g. by hydrotreatment, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatog. (GC ×GC) coupled with selective sulfur chemiluminescence detector (SCD) and headspace gas chromatog. coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were combined. This allowed to quantify sulfur-containing compounds present in crude bio-oils produced from different types of biomass (beech wood, miscanthus, and straw) and straw bio-oil after hydrotreatment. Hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, di-Me disulfide, and several thiophenes were identified and quantified as the most abundant sulfur compounds The detailed anal. of the hydrotreated bio-oil prepared at 360°C and 8 MPa showed that most GC-detectable sulfur was related to hydrogen sulfide not sufficiently removed in the product separator. Used anal. methods brought an unprecedented level of details about bio-oil sulfur speciation and acquired data can help to drive further R&D in bio-oil upgrading. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2,5-Dimethylthiophene (cas: 638-02-8COA of Formula: C6H8S).
2,5-Dimethylthiophene (cas: 638-02-8) belongs to benzothiophene derivatives. Benzothiophene finds use in research as a starting material for the synthesis of larger, usually bioactive structures. Due to its aromaticity, thiophenes do not exhibit the same properties as conventional thioethers.COA of Formula: C6H8S
