Summary: Fast pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of biomass in the absence of oxygen. This study aims to evaluate thermal analysis of byproducts from fast-pyrolysis of Eucalyptus wood fines. The pyrolysis was conducted in a pilot-scale at 500°C and 100 mm H2O. Charcoal from this process showed high ash content (over than 20%) and incomplete carbonization. Aqueous extract and bio-oil showed similar thermal decomposition events. However, mass percentage decomposed at each temperature was different between these samples.
