Method for refining biological oil by homogeneous catalysis

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for refining biological oil, comprising the following step: carrying out catalytic cracking reaction and catalytic hydrogenation reaction on biological oil in a low molecular alcohol system under the catalysis of a homogeneous catalyzer in a hydrogen environment. The invention successfully transforms acid, aldehyde and low polymers in the biological oil into ester, alcohol and small molecule fuel components by utilizing the homogeneous catalyzer to catalyze and refine the biological oil in a subcritical system of low molecular alcohol, thereby greatly reducingthe acidity of the biological oil and the condensation and polycondensation reaction speed, overcoming the phenomenon of biological oil coking during the refining process, greatly increasing the thermal stability of the biological oil and the refined oil yield and solving the problem existing in preparing liquid fuel by biomass pyrogenation, therefore, the industrial development of preparing the liquid fuel by biomass pyrogenation is promoted, which has a significant meaning of establishing a sustainable energy system and protecting ecological environment.

Problems solved by technology

Although there are many detailed studies on catalytic hydrogenation and catalytic cracking of bio-oil, both of which have many advantages, most of the catalysts used at home and abroad are traditional solid-state catalysts, which are far from suitable for complex systems such as bio-oil.

The main reasons are: firstly, the solid catalyst used has poor oil solubility, the catalyst cannot fully contact with the bio-oil, and the catalytic efficiency is low; secondly, the bio-oil contains a large amount of heat-sensitive and macromolecular substances, which are prone to condensation and polycondensation reactions. When it exceeds 80°C, the polymerization reaction in the bio-oil is very strong, and the catalysts currently used are all high-temperature catalysts, the condensation polycondensation reaction is strong, and the reaction components will enter the catalyst matrix, block the catalyst p
