Dear Jason and all
We worked with fast pyrolysis oil a good deal at NREL in the 1980s.
Typical..yitco tans a good deal of water which of course will distill over.
However, it is full of free radicals,and heating caused it to turn to a solid
mess. I'm sure that some volatiles could be collected, but not much.
Most of the work was done by Jim Diebold, now at Community Power Corp.in
Littleton.
Slow pyrolysis of course produces a few % methanol, acetone, vanillin etc.
Good luck,
Tom Reed
