Abstract: The steam pyrolysis of pinewood sawdust has been conducted in a bench scale plant provided with a conical spouted bed reactor (CSBR). This process is of uttermost relevance for the in-line valorisation of pyrolysis volatiles, specifically for their catalytic steam reforming for hydrogen production. The influence of temperature on the product yields has been analyzed in the 500–800 °C range. A detailed analysis of the volatile stream (condensable and non-condensable components) has been carried out by chromatographic techniques, and the char samples have been characterized by ultimate and proximate analyses, N2 adsorption-desorption, and Scanning Electron Microscopy.
