Problems solved by technology

Rapid pyrolysis of biomass to produce bio-oil is the cutting-edge technology of biomass energy research and development in the world, but this technology requires high equipment and harsh reaction conditions, and its liquid products have high oxygen content and low hydrogen-to-carbon ratio. During the utilization of the product bio-oil, it is necessary to overcome the problems of poor thermal stability and corrosiveness of bio-oil (Sharma A et al, 1999)
Compared with fast pyrolysis liquefaction technology, high-pressure liquefaction technology has relatively low equipment requirements and is easy to produce on an industrial scale. The quality of its liquid products is slightly better than that of pyrolysis oil, but it needs further refining before it can be used as engine fuel, and the cost is relatively high. These problems restrict the large-scale utilization of this technology (Wang Gang et al., 2008)
However, there is no report on the direct liquefaction of biomass under the coupling of subcritical or supercritical oxygen-free organic solvents and molecular sieve catalysts.

Embodiment 1

[0028] Take 20 g of dried corn stalk powder with a particle size of 40-60 mesh, 1 g of molecular sieve catalyst (this example uses a commercially available molecular sieve mainly containing REUSY-type zeolite, and the product number provided by the manufacturer is BCR-2), 20 ml Pure cyclohexane was added into a batch-type autoclave with a volume of 1 L and equipped with a magnetic stirrer, sealed and heated to 310 °C, and kept at this temperature for 0.5-80 min. Cool to room temperature and collect the product. Products that are gaseous at normal temperature and pressure are gas phase products. Wash the inner wall of the reactor with absolute ethanol to obtain a solid-liquid product, place it at room temperature and wait for the ethanol to dry up, add distilled water to extract water-soluble organic matter, that is, light oil, use a vacuum pump to filter, and use a rotary evaporator to evaporate the filtrate to remove water. The remaining substances are water-soluble organic ...

Embodiment 2

[0038] Using the same method and steps as in Example 1, the difference is that no molecular sieve catalyst is added.

[0039] The experimental results are shown in Table 4 and attached figure 1 As shown, the data in Table 4 show that in the cyclohexane medium under sub / supercritical conditions, with the increase of the reaction time, the yield of bio-oil, light oil yield and conversion rate of corn stalks obtained after the conversion of corn stalks were all the same. Gradually increase. When the reaction time is 80 min, the conversion rate of straw can reach 66.22%, the yield of bio-oil is 35.92%, and the yield ratio of light and heavy oil is 9.26.

Abstract

The invention discloses a biomass liquefaction method in the presence of coupling action of subcritical/supercritical cyclohexane and molecular sieve. Subcritical/supercritical cyclohexane serves as a medium, and a molecular sieve catalyst containing zeolite ingredients serves as a catalyst. The biomass, the cyclohexane and the molecular sieve catalyst containing zeolite ingredients react at a temperature of 285-330 DEG C under pressure of 1.7-4.2 Mpa to prepare into biomass oils. High-efficiency conversion of the biomass can be realized by the coupling action of the cyclohexane solvent and the molecular sieve catalyst under the subcritical or supercritical condition. Compared with a method using a subcritical (or supercritical) solvent without adding a catalyst or a biomass catalytic conversion method under the non-subcritical (or non-supercritical) condition, the biomass liquefaction method provided by the invention is used to obviously improve the conversion rate of the biomass andthe quality of the converted products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for realizing high-efficiency conversion of biomass by utilizing the coupling effect of an organic anaerobic solvent under subcritical or supercritical conditions and a molecular sieve catalyst. The biomass conversion product can be used to prepare basic chemical raw materials, fuel oil and the like. Background technique [0002] With the development of industry and the growth of population, human beings' demand for energy is increasing day by day, among which fossil energy is currently the main energy. Fossil energy is non-renewable, leading to its depletion, and in the process of large-scale exploitation and utilization of fossil energy, it has caused serious environmental pollution problems. Therefore, looking for a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source has become the focus of widespread concern in society. Biomass can just fill this gap. Biomass energy has the following characteristics: renewable, ...
