Abstract: The biogas residues of Pennisetum giganteum were liquefied into bio-polyol in the mixed solvent of poly-ethyleneglycol (PEG400) and glycerin. The influences of liquefaction conditions on the process of liquefaction were studied. The results indicated that the optimal conditions were mass ratio of PEG400 and glycerin 1.5:1, mass ratio of liquid and solid 2.9:1, mass fraction of sulfuric acid compared to the mixed solvent 5%, liquefaction temperature 160℃ and liquefaction time 1.5h.Under these conditions, the hydroxyl value of the liquefaction product was 498mg/g. The best performance of polyurethane foam was obtained by bio-polyol instead of polyether polyol with the mass ratio of 1:1, and the density and compressive strength were 38.7kg/m3 and 0.21MPa.

Key words: Pennisetum giganteum, biogas residue, liquefied-polyol, rigid polyurethane foam
