Catalyzed and uncatalyzed (thermal) pyrolysis processes were conducted in a fixed-bed reactor. The effects of the parameters on pyrolysis product yields such as temperature and catalysis type were investigated. The pyrolysis of the experimental samples that have a particle size in the range of 0.850-1.60 mm were carried out at the temperatures of 400, 500 and 600 °C at the heating rate of 5°C/min. Nitrogen gas (N2) flow was used at the rate of 30 ml/min during the process. Basic salts such as Na 2CO3, K2CO3 and Lewis acid (FeCl3) were used as catalyses. As a result, it was determined that temperature and catalysis types were effective parameters in the yields of char, bio-oil and gas products. Also it was determined that the conversion of wood materials into fuel or valuable chemicals with the pyrolysis method is an applicable technology.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBio-oilBiomassPyrolysisScots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)Article2-s2.0-848904042104793Q247328
