Neutralised mixtures of tall oil-derived fatty acids and resin acids were separately pyrolysed (at 750◦C for 20 s) by pyrolysis gas chromatography
with mass-selective and flame ionisation detection (Py-GC/MSD/FID) to clarify their thermochemical behaviour. The
pyrolysate of fatty acid salts characteristically contained high amounts of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and minor amounts
of monoaromatics, whereas the pyrolysis of resin acid salts mainly resulted in the formation of aromatics with up to three benzene
rings and only in very low amounts of aliphatic hydrocarbons. The data obtained are useful when considering the suitability of
various tall oil products containing fatty and resin acid fractions for the production of biofuels and chemicals via pyrolysis.
