Bio-oil is an encouraging renewable energy source due to finite fossil resources. In this study, vacuum pyrolysis of oak wood (Quercus petraea L.) residue was performed in a fixed-bed reactor at a high-temperature of 500 °C. Bio-oil, derived from oak wood was examined by a series of chromatographic/spectroscopic methods including elemental composition, FT-IR, and GC/MS analysis to determine the chemical structure. All the results indicated that the bio-oil comprises a complex mixture of oxygen-containing aromatic compounds such as phenols, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, organic acids, and benzenes. The major compounds were identified as phenol and phenol derivatives. Bio-oil, produced from woody biomass may be used as an alternative fuel or chemical feedstock in different industrial applications. </span> </div>}, number={3}, publisher={Gazi Üniversitesi}
