Abstract: The composition of the pyrolyzate of untreated and H3PO4-impregnated corncobs and straw was studied by g.I.c.—mass spectrometry. The major products of thermal degradation were 2-furaIdehyde, acetic acid, Ievoglucosenone, and the other significant compounds were identified as 3-hydroxy-2-penteno-l,5-lactone, levulinic acid, guaiacol, acrylaldehyde, and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-l-vinylbenzene. The treatment of corncobs and straw with acid catalyst before the pyrolysis showed expressive changes of amount and distribution of pyrolytic products. Substantial departures between the composi­tion of the pyrolyzate of corncobs and straw were not found. The results of dynamic thermal analysis (TG, DTG, DTA) are also reported.
