Abstract:

Corn stalk was pyrolyzed at 500 ℃ with red mud, which calcined under different temperature, to investigate the effect of red mud addition on the bio-oil composition. TG-DTG and XRD analysis of the calcined red mud indicated that the red mud dehydrated after being calcined under 600 ℃(RM600), and decomposed completely and sintered when it calcined at 1 000 ℃(RM1000). GC/MS analysis of the bio-oil implied that both the red mud dried at 105 ℃(RM) and that calcined at 600 ℃ substantially promoted the ketonization reactions of carboxylic acids. With the addition of RM and RM600, the carboxylic acids content in the bio-oil decreased, correspondingly the ketones content in the bio-oil increased. The acid-reducing effect of RM was wore obvious, as the mass ratio of corn stalk and RM was 1:5, the amount of acids in the bio-oil decreased to 0.90% from 23.85% which was obtained without red mud. In addition, RM and RM600 had a positive effect on the furans formation while suppressed the formation of sugars and aldehydes. However, the red mud calcined under 1 000 ℃ posed a little effects on the bio-oil composition due to the sintering.
