微拟球藻脂肪热解及对全组分制备生物油的影响

以酸水解法从微拟球藻中提取的粗脂肪为原料,在管式裂解炉中考察不同热解温度下脂肪单组分的热解规律及对微拟球藻全组分各相产率及生物油性能的影响。利用热重分析仪分别考察粗脂肪及全组分的热失重特性,并求出相应的动力学参数。结果表明,脂肪热解能够提高全组分热解有机相产率并改善油品性能。随着温度的升高,粗脂肪与全组分热解后的有机相产率及油品性能的变化趋势相同,且生物油性能均在600℃时达到最佳。经热解,粗脂肪中含氧化合物含量降低,脂肪烃含量显著增加。对比全组分热解,粗脂肪热解后的油品脱氧率及氢、碳元素比例更高,因而增加全组分中脂肪的含量能够促进油品性能的进一步提高。对粗脂肪及全组分的热重数据进行计算,发现两者均满足二级化学反应机理,粗脂肪、全组分的活化能与指前因子分别为64.34 k J/mol与2.94×105min-1,48.13 k J/mol与2.96×103min-1。     

钾元素对生物质及其三组分热解的影响

采用机械混合法将KCl加入到纤维素、半纤维素、木质素以及稻壳和稻壳模拟物等生物质中,得到了一系列不同K含量的生物质样品,通过热重(TG)实验考察了K元素对生物质热解特性的影响.结果表明,K元素对生物质三组分热解特性的影响比较复杂,纤维素的最大热解失重速率随着KCl添加量的增加而降低,但KCl对半纤维素和木质素热解特性的影响不显著.无论是否添加KCl,模拟生物质的热解特性均可以认为是三组分热解的简单叠加.但酸预处理稻壳三组分间的稳定结构,导致其DTG曲线在300 ℃左右的热解峰由稻壳模拟物的尖峰变为肩峰,其热解焦炭收率也比稻壳模拟物的略低.此外,实验还采用浸渍法向酸预处理稻壳中添加了KCl.TG实验结果表明,K元素的存在对生物质热解具有一定的催化作用,但KCl的添加方式不同,生物质的热解特性有明显差别,生物质样品经机械混合添加KCl后,其热解焦炭收率呈下降趋势(纤维素除外),浸渍法添加的KCl导致酸预处理稻壳的最大热解失重速率和焦炭收率升高.

采用浸渍法制备Zn、Ga和Mg金属改性的H-ZSM-5双功能催化剂,考察了金属种类(Zn、Ga和Mg)和磨木木质素种类(杉木针叶材磨木木质素(CF-MWL)、杨木阔叶材磨木木质素(P-MWL)和玉米秸秆草本植物磨木木质素(CSMWL))对木质素催化热解过程中轻质芳烃产率的影响。结果表明,在三种磨木木质素中,杉木磨木木质素(CF-MWL)具有最高的碳含量(59.90%,质量分数)和高位热值(23.05 MJ/kg),而玉米秸秆磨木木质素(CS-MWL)中的氢含量(6.51%,质量分数)和有效氢碳比(0.43)最高。催化热解结果显示,与未改性的H-ZSM-5相比,Ga/H-ZSM-5和Zn/H-ZSM-5促进了轻质芳烃的形成,而Mg/H-ZSM-5则抑制轻质芳烃生成;其中,Zn/H-ZSM-5对三种MWL催化热解制取轻质芳烃的产率最高,分别达到3.122×10~9 a.u./mg (CF-MWL)、2.916×10~9 a.u./mg(P-MWL)和2.865×10~9 a.u./mg(CS-MWL);在三种MWL中,杉木磨木木质素(CF-MWL)催化热解制备BTX的选择性产率最高,达到65.02%。催化剂表面的积炭分析结果显示,催化热解过程中生成的积炭优先占据H-ZSM-5的强酸位点,并且大部分集中于H-ZSM-5的外部。     

纤维素与草酸的慢速和快速共热解反应特性研究

本研究利用热重-傅里叶变换红外光谱和卧式固定床热解反应装置，探究了纤维素与草酸的慢速和快速共热解反应特性。慢速共热解的失重曲线包括草酸分解和纤维素分解两个阶段，由于草酸与纤维素分解不同步，草酸主要通过其分解形成的挥发分影响纤维素的分解，且影响并不明显。而在快速共热解中，草酸与纤维素同步热解，原料及挥发分之间有着充分的交互反应，因此，草酸对纤维素的三相热解产物具有显著影响。相比于纤维素单独快速热解，快速共热解形成的生物油中左旋葡聚糖、左旋葡萄糖酮含量减少，1,4∶3,6-二脱水-α-D-吡喃葡萄糖含量显著提高；热解气中CO减少，CO₂增多；此外，纤维素分解更为彻底，热解炭具有更高的芳香化程度。     

自由落下床中生物质与煤共热解的协同效应对焦油组成的影响

利用溶剂萃取-柱层析方法,将自由落下床中豆秸与大雁褐煤共热解以及单种原料热解的液体产品分为沥青烯、酚类、脂肪烃类、芳香烃类和极性物等组分。结果表明,共热解的沥青烯产率为11.4%,低于根据煤和生物质单独热解的质量加权平均计算值19.0%,且芳香性增大;与计算值相比,低分子量的酚类、甲基苯酚、二甲基苯酚及其衍生物的含量提高了5%;而且长侧链的脂肪烃含量减少。共热解焦油的芳香类组分中十氢萘的质量分数是43.37%,但其在单一原料热解焦油中并没有被检测到。热解油分析结果表明,自由落下床生物质与煤快速共热解过程中存在协同效应,其主要原因是,发生氢解和加氢反应。煤与生物质共热解有利于产生低分子量的化合物,改善油品的质量。

Screening acidic zeolites for catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass and its components

Zeolites have been shown to effectively promote cracking reactions during pyrolysis resulting in highly deoxygenated and hydrocarbon-rich compounds and stable pyrolysis oil product. Py/GC-MS was employed to study the catalytic fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass samples comprising oak, corn cob, corn stover, and switchgrass, as well as the fractional components of biomass, i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Quantitative values of condensable vapors and relative compositions of the pyrolytic products including non-condensable gases (NCG's) and solid residues are presented to show how reaction products are affected by catalyst choice. While all catalysts decreased the oxygen-containing products in the condensable vapors, H-ZSM-5 was most effective at producing aromatic hydrocarbons from the pyrolytic vapors. We demonstrated how the Si/Al ratio of the catalysts plays a role in the deoxygenation of the vapors towards the pathway to aromatic hydrocarbons.     

Aromatics and phenols from catalytic pyrolysis of Douglas fir pellets in microwave with ZSM-5 as a catalyst

Microwave assisted catalytic pyrolysis was investigated to convert Douglas fir pellets to bio-oils by a ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. A central composite experimental design (CCD) was used to optimize the catalytic pyrolysis process. The effects of reaction time, temperature and catalyst to biomass ratio on the bio-oil, syngas, and biochar yields were determined. GC/MS analysis results showed that the bio-oil contained a series of important and useful chemical compounds. Phenols, guaiacols, and aromatic hydrocarbons were the most abundant compounds which were about 50–82% in bio-oil depending on the pyrolysis conditions. Comparison between the bio-oils from microwave pyrolysis with and without catalyst showed that the catalyst increased the content of aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols. A reaction pathway was proposed for microwave assisted catalyst pyrolysis of Douglas fir pellets.

Catalysis Meets Nonthermal Separation for the Production of (Alkyl)phenols and Hydrocarbons from Pyrolysis Oil

A simple and efficient hydrodeoxygenation strategy is described to selectively generate and separate high‐value alkylphenols from pyrolysis bio‐oil, produced directly from lignocellulosic biomass. The overall process is efficient and only requires low pressures of hydrogen gas (5 bar). Initially, an investigation using model compounds indicates that MoC_x /C is a promising catalyst for targeted hydrodeoxygenation, enabling selective retention of the desired Ar−OH substituents. By applying this procedure to pyrolysis bio‐oil, the primary products (phenol/4‐alkylphenols and hydrocarbons) are easily separable from each other by short‐path column chromatography, serving as potential valuable feedstocks for industry. The strategy requires no prior fractionation of the lignocellulosic biomass, no further synthetic steps, and no input of additional (e.g., petrochemical) platform molecules.     

Thermal self-sustainability of biochar production by pyrolysis

The pyrolysis of several agricultural and biofuel production residues (grape residues, sugarcane residues, dried distiller's grain, palm oil residues, apple pomace and forestry residue) has been carried out in a pilot bubbling fluidized bed pyrolyzer operating under a range of temperature from 300 to 600 °C and two vapor residence times (2 and 5 s), with the aim of determining their pyrolysis behavior including products yields and heat balance. The composition of the product gases was determined, from which their heating value was calculated. The liquid bio-oil was recovered with cyclonic condensers. The thermal sustainability of the pyrolysis process was estimated by considering the energy contribution of the product gases and of the liquid bio-oil in relation to the pyrolysis heat requirements. The most promising biomass feedstocks for the sustainable production of biochar were indentified. Furthermore, this study presented the char yield in relation to the excess heat that could be obtained by combusting the gas and bio-oil coproducts of biochar production, as functions of pyrolysis temperature and vapor residence time.     

Comparison between the “one-step” and “two-step” catalytic pyrolysis of pine bark

In this study, one-step and two-step pyrolysis systems were compared in the pyrolysis of pine bark. One-step pyrolysis was performed in a fixed bed reactor with and without catalyst. Two-step pyrolysis was carried out in a dual reactor system over catalyst; the first reactor containing no catalyst whereas the second reactor containing catalyst to upgrade the thermally cracked products. The catalysts used in the pyrolysis systems were ReUS-Y, red mud and ZSM-5. In thermal pyrolysis, the pyrolysis system mainly affected the relative amount of bio-oil. The bio-oil yields obtained from two-step thermal pyrolysis were higher than the yields from one-step thermal pyrolysis. In the catalytic runs, ReUS-Y catalyst slightly decreased the char formation with a consequent increase in aqueous phase yield in the case of one-step pyrolysis. However, the catalysts decreased the bio-oil yield with a consequent increase in the gas yield in the case of two-step pyrolysis. The general compositions of bio-oils obtained from both two pyrolysis systems were affected by using catalysts. In the case of one-step pyrolysis, the formation of water and water soluble compounds were reduced by using ReUS-Y catalyst. In the case of two-step pyrolysis, both ZSM-5 and red mud increased the formation of water soluble compounds while they decreased water formation. In contrast, ReUS-Y decreased the formation of water soluble compounds and increased the amount of pyrolytic lignin compounds in bio-oil. Fuel characteristics of pyrolysis products (gas, bio-oil and char) for both two pyrolysis systems were also investigated comparatively.

Pyrolysis of sorghum bagasse biomass into bio-char and bio-oil products

The transformation of renewable biomass into valuable products as alternatives to fossil fuels is essential for sustainable energy in sustainable society. This work systematically investigates the pyrolysis of sorghum bagasse biomass into bio-char and bio-oil products and studies the effect of temperature (623–823 K) on the conversion of sorghum bagasse and products yields. The physicochemical properties of bio-char were thoroughly studied using powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis (CHNSO), scanning electronic microscope, calorific value (CV), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques. Also, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), CV, and FTIR were used to understand the properties of bio-oil. The results obtained indicate that an increase in the pyrolysis temperature from 623 to 823 K leads to a decrease in the bio-char yield from 42.55 to 30.38%. On the other hand, the maximum bio-oil yield of 15.94% was obtained at 723 K. The bio-char obtained at 673 and 773 K was found by FTIR analysis to be composed of a highly ordered aromatic carbon structure. The calorific value of bio-oil, which contains a greater amount of acidic compounds, was found to be 6740 kcal/kg. The GC–MS analyses revealed the presence of octadecenoic acid, p-cresol, 2,6-dimethoxy phenol, 4-ethyl 2-methoxy phenol, phenol, o-guaiacol, and octadecanoic acid in the bio-oil obtained from the pyrolysis of sorghum bagasse biomass. The present study provides useful information for understanding the quality of bio-oil and bio-char obtained from high biomass sorghum bagasse.     

Chemical composition of bio-oil produced by co-pyrolysis of biopolymer/polypropylene mixtures with K2CO3 and ZnCl2 addition

The chemical composition of liquid products of cellulose and lignin co-pyrolysis with polypropylene at 450 °C with and without the potassium carbonate or zinc chloride as an catalyst was investigated. The yield of liquid products of pyrolysis was in the range of 26–45 wt% and their form was liquid or semi-solid highly depending on the composition of sample and pyrolysis conditions. The potassium carbonate and zinc chloride addition to blends has also influenced the range of samples decomposition as well as the chemical composition of resulted bio-oils. All bio-oils from biopolymer and polypropylene mixtures were three-phase (water, oil and solid). While zinc chloride acted as catalyst, all bio-oils obtained from biopolymer and polypropylene mixtures were yellow liquids with well-separated water and oil phases. All analyses proved that the structure and quality of bio-oil strongly depends on both the composition of the blend and the presence of the additive. The FT-IR and GC–MS analyses of oils showed that oxygen functionalities and hydrocarbons contents highly depend on the composition of biomass/polypropylene mixture. Results confirmed the significant removal and/or transformation of oxygen containing organic compounds, i.e. levoglucosan, 1,6-anhydro-β-d-glucofuranose and phenol derivatives due to the zinc chloride presence during pyrolysis process. All analyses showed that zinc chloride as catalyst was generally much more effective for removal of hydroxyl and methoxy groups than was potassium carbonate. It was demonstrated in this study that catalysts used in present work lead to the increased char yield and improved the fuel quality of bio-oil.
