Improved Light Hydrocarbon, Furans, and BTEX Production from the Catalytic Assisted Pyrolysis of <i>Agave salmiana</i> Bagasse over Silica Mesoporous Catalysts

The pyrolysis of the biomass <i>Agave salmiana</i> bagasse (10 K/min, ambient to 700 °C) was investigated in the absence and presence of Aerosil and MCM-41 catalysts. MCM-41 was synthetized using a typical hydrothermal method and characterized with XRD, SAXS, SEM, TEM, and nitrogen physi...
