The aim of this study was to obtain pyrolysis products from cherry laurel seed in the presence of Na 2 CO 3 . Bio-liquid, solid, and gaseous products were obtained from pyrolysis of cherry laurel seed samples. Cherry laurel seed samples were heated at a rate of 15 K/min from 298 K to a maximum temperature of 775 K. The nominal heating time was 30 min. The highest yield of bio-liquid product was 39.3%, which can be obtained from the pyrolysis with 5% Na 2 CO 3 . It was observed that the yield of bio-liquid product decreases with further increase of catalyst ratio.
