Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermal depolymerization process used to convert wet biomass into crude-like oil -sometimes referred to as bio-oil or biocrude- under moderate temperature and high pressure. The crude-like oil (or bio-oil) has high energy density with a lower heating value of 33.8-36.9 MJ/kg and 5-20 wt% oxygen and renewable chemicals.

A method for CO2-promoted hydrothermal liquefaction, demulsification, and separation of steel rolling sludge

ActiveCN117602800BSludgeOrganosolv
This invention belongs to the field of hydrothermal liquefaction technology and discloses a method for CO2-promoted hydrothermal liquefaction demulsification and separation of rolling mill sludge. The method involves weighing rolling mill sludge into a high-pressure reactor, adding water, and introducing sufficient carbon dioxide gas to purge air from the reactor. A hydrothermal liquefaction reaction is then carried out, and the liquid phase product in the high-pressure reactor is collected and washed with acetone. The washing liquid and the liquid phase product in the high-pressure reactor are then vacuum filtered together. After washing the filter residue with acetone, a filtrate and a filter residue are obtained. The filter residue is dried to obtain the solid phase product of the reaction. Dichloromethane is added to the filtrate, and after thorough stirring and extraction, the liquid is separated. The upper layer is an aqueous solution, and the lower layer is a mixed solution of acetone, dichloromethane, and bio-oil. Rotary evaporation is used to remove the organic solvent from the oil phase mixture, yielding the oil phase. This invention improves the oil phase separation efficiency and calorific value of rolling mill sludge by using CO2 as a reaction atmosphere during the hydrothermal liquefaction process.

A method for continuous hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass at high water content to produce oil

PendingCN122302929AProcess engineeringWater boil
This invention relates to the field of biomass energy utilization technology and discloses a continuous hydrothermal liquefaction method for producing oil from high-moisture-content biomass. The method includes the following steps: adding biomass material into a tank for heating and pressurization, and stirring the biomass material using a stirring mechanism to accelerate its decomposition; simultaneously, the stirring mechanism scrapes off tar adhering to the inner wall of the tank and extracts gas above the oil surface inside the tank, injecting it into the biomass material at the bottom of the tank to generate bubbles, mimicking water boiling to assist in stirring the biomass material. This invention, by setting up a stirring mechanism to stir the biomass material, enables rapid decomposition and oil precipitation from the biomass. Simultaneously, the stirring of the biomass material and the scraping off of tar adhering to the inner wall of the tank prevent tar accumulation from clogging the oil flow channels, thus increasing the stability of the biomass-to-oil production process.
