Corks were compared with wood samples. Py-products include suberin, lignin and carbohydrates derivatives. Suberin py-products are dominated by unsaturated aliphatics. Corks pyrolysis yield and composition were dramatically influenced by temperature in contrast to wood that showed stable results across temperatures. At 850–900°C the peaks area of cork pyrograms were approximately two times higher than at 550°C, for which yield was about half of the woods, and cork py-products were dominated by suberin-derived short chain aliphatics, namely 1-alkenes, while at 550°C composition was dominated by lignin derivatives. Lignin and carbohydrate derived products decreased dramatically over 750°C while the opposite was observed for unsaturated aliphatics. Cork materials show a high potential as feedstock for production of aliphatic-rich pyrolytic biofuels or as a source of olefins.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marques, António Velez</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pereira, Helena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin monomeric composition of corks from the barks of Betula pendula, Quercus suber and Quercus cerris determined by Py–GC–MS/FID</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Betula pendula</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin composition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pyrolysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus cerris</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elsevier B.V.</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Samples of cork tissues separated from the barks of Betula pendula, Quercus suber and Quercus cerris were characterized by Py–GC–MS/FID in respect to composition of lignin. The pyrolysis temperature influenced the yield of pyrolysis products, and in the conditions usually applied to wood pyrolysis (550 ◦C) suberin is only partially degraded into products. The lignin composition of the three corks showed predominantly a guaiacyl-based lignin: guaiacyl (G) units represented 85.7%, 96.4% and 93.7% of lignin respectively in B. pendula, Q. suber and Q. cerris corks, while syringyl (S) units amounted respectively to 11.9%, 2.5% and 2.7% and p-hydroxyphenyl (H) units to 2.4%, 1.1% and 3.6%. Pyrolysis of the woods of these same species confirmed the GS character of their lignins in contrast to the corks G-lignin type. The influence of ferulic acid in the results and its integration in a heterogeneous cork lignin structure was discussed.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">a.

Devolatihzation as weII as combustion of the reaminin g solid have been considered to analyze the weight loss curves. The homogeneous volume reaction (VR) model has been used to describe devolatihza- tion, whereas for solid combustion the grain model has been also checked. A two-stage approach has been used to fit the conversion-time curves and to derive the corresponding apparent kinetic parameters. The VR/VR (pyrolysis/combustion) combination provided a better description of the experimental (~-1 curves than the VR/grain combination. Hohn oak and cork oak showed very close reactivities, whereas some differences were observed for aleppo pine and eucalyptus.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Figueiredo, J L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PYROLYSIS OF HOLM OAK AND OLIVE WOOD</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Conference on Biomass for Energy and Industry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">charcoal production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fuel gas</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holm oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">olive</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pyrolysis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1989</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER APPL SCI PUBL LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lisbon</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2585-2589</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The pyrolysis of olive and holm-oak wood to produce charcoal and fuel gas was studied in the temperature range from 3 00 to 9 00°C.
