Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sustainable biofuel production, and particularly relates to a process for producing biomass fuel using biofibers. Background Art
[0002] With the dual pressures of growing global energy demand and the shortage of fossil fuel resources, biomass energy has received extensive attention as a renewable low-carbon alternative. Currently, biomass fuel production technologies mainly focus on three directions: oil ester exchange, starch saccharification fermentation, and lignocellulose conversion. Among them, biodiesel technology using waste oil and ethanol gasoline technology using corn and sugarcane as raw materials have been industrialized, but these technologies generally face problems such as limited raw material sources. At present, the mainstream preparation technologies of biomass fuel include pyrolysis liquefaction, gasification synthesis, enzymatic hydrolysis fermentation, and transesterification. For example, rapid pyrolysis technology decomposes biomass under high-temperature and anaerobic conditions to produce bio-oil, but the bio-oil produced by traditional processes generally has problems such as high oxygen content, strong acidity, low calorific value, and poor stability, which easily lead to polymerization reactions during storage, forming gum precipitation, seriously limiting its direct application as fuel. In recent years, lignocellulosic biomass has gradually become the focus of research on second-generation biofuels because it widely exists in agricultural wastes (such as straws, rice husks), forestry processing residues (such as wood chips, barks), and energy crops (such as switchgrass, miscanthus). However, the complex supramolecular structure of lignocellulose makes it difficult to be directly converted. Existing pretreatment technologies such as dilute acid hydrolysis, steam explosion, and organic solvent separation can break the lignin-hemicellulose cross-linking network, but generally have problems such as high energy consumption, large consumption of chemical reagents, and pollution of pretreatment waste liquid. In the conversion link, the enzymatic hydrolysis fermentation route is limited by the high cost of cellulase and inhibitor tolerance, while in the thermochemical conversion route, although rapid pyrolysis can directly produce bio-crude oil, the products have defects such as high oxygen content, low calorific value, and strong corrosiveness, and need to be upgraded by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation to meet the vehicle fuel standard, resulting in high overall process costs. Therefore, based on the above problems, it is extremely necessary to develop an environmentally friendly and efficient biomass fuel production process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The process of the present invention is carried out through segmented hydrolysis and selective separation of components. First, high-temperature liquid water pretreatment is performed. Through the self-ionization characteristics of water, the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds of hemicellulose are selectively broken under extremely low chemical additive conditions to release pentose such as xylose, while retaining the integrity of the cellulose skeleton to create a loose structure for subsequent acid catalysis; the mild acidity of bio-based maleic acid is used to attack the amorphous region of cellulose and generate glucose in a direction, thereby avoiding excessive degradation of sugars or lignin condensation caused by strong acid and controlling the impurity spectrum of the product from the source; the two-stage treatment forms a synergistic mode of physical chain opening and chemical bond breaking, effectively avoiding the introduction of non-C / H / O elements such as sulfur (S) and chlorine (Cl), ensuring the purity of the product components, and realizing the cascade utilization of hemicellulose and cellulose, providing a high-activity, low-inhibitor sugar liquid raw material for downstream catalytic conversion. Through the hydrogenation activity of Ni / Al2O3-SiO2 and the shape-selective effect of HZSM-5 molecular sieve, oxygen-containing intermediates are directed to be converted into saturated alkanes. Through the synergy of high-temperature liquid water pretreatment and weak acid hydrolysis, hemicellulose and cellulose are directed to be deconstructed to provide highly active sugar solution for catalytic deoxygenation. The two-stage nickel-based catalyst takes into account both catalyst life and deoxygenation efficiency through the synergy of low-temperature protection and high-temperature deep deoxidation. In the subsequent process, sodium lignin sulfonate, with its amphiphilic structure, embeds one end into the surface defect of carbon nanotubes, and forms a hydrophobic effect with the fuel hydrocarbon chain at the other end, constructing a stable dispersion system and solving the problem of nanoparticle agglomeration. After the light impurities are removed by vacuum distillation, the cavitation effect generated by high-pressure homogenization further destroys the nano aggregates, so that the modifier is evenly embedded in the gap between fuel molecules to form a nano core-hydrocarbon shell composite structure. In addition, the high thermal conductivity of nanomaterials accelerates fuel gasification, while the oxygen-containing polar molecules of biofuels enhance the wettability of the nano interface. The two synergistically improve the combustion rate and energy release uniformity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Yield test: Calculate the biofuel yields prepared by the processes of the above Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 1 - 4. The biofuel yield (%) = (mass of the final biofuel / mass of the raw material before pretreatment) × 100%. The results are as Figure 1 shown.
[0017] As Figure 1 can be seen from the results, the process of the present invention has an excellent biofuel yield. In particular, the parameter performance of Example 1 shows the best process effect; from the results of Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the lack of maleic acid leads to insufficient deconstruction of the amorphous region of cellulose, an increase in the degradation rate of sugars, an increase in lignin condensation by-products, an increase in mass loss during the pretreatment stage, and a synchronous decrease in the subsequent catalytic conversion rate, thereby resulting in a significant decrease in the yield; from the results of Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the deoxygenation efficiency of the unmodified catalyst decreases significantly, and the increase in by-products leads to a loss in fuel quality and a significant decrease in the yield; from the results of Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that due to the lack of the multi-stage condensation process, the recovery rate of C5 - C12 light components decreases significantly, the residual high-boiling components lead to an increase in the cold filter point of the fuel, and the mass loss of the light fuel after distillation is significant, resulting in a significant decrease in the yield.
[0018] Performance test: The yields of the biofuels prepared by the processes of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested. The kinematic viscosity was tested in accordance with GB / T 265-1988, the flash point of the biomass fuel was tested in accordance with GB / T 21789-2008, the color was observed and recorded, and the acid value of the biomass fuel was tested in accordance with GB / T 7304-2020.
