Abstract:

Bio-crude oil was produced from algae in Dianchi lake by hydrothermal liquefaction. The effects of process parameters on the reaction of hydrothermal liquefication and the effects of reaction temperature on the product distribution of hydrothermal liquefication and characteristics of bio-crude oil were analyzed.The highest bio-crude yield of 14.82% was obtained at reaction temperature 300 ℃, reaction time 60 min and the mass fraction of solid in raw material 20%. The highest energy recovery was 54.11%, the carbon recovery and hydrogen recovery were 49.65% and 24.83%, and the HHV of bio-crude oil is 35.79 MJ/kg. The results of GC-MS analysis mainly showed that the hydrocarbons, organic acids, nitrogenoxides and esters were 22.4%, 34.3%, 21.1% and 5.47%. The reaction temperature had great effecs on the GC content changes of nitrogenoxides, esters, organic acids, hydrocarbons and phenols in bio-crude oil components. The highest H/C and the lowest N/C of bio-crude oil were respectively 1.39 and 0.05, the highest conversion efficiency of 83.87% was obtained at 380 ℃ and the HHV was 36.76 MJ/kg.

Key words: hydrothermal liquefaction, bio-crude oil, temperature, algae
