    Phenol is used as a medium for liquefaction of straw. The cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in straw has been turned into a liquid substance with certain biological activity, which is a new type of adhesive. TG-DSC analysis shows that its curing temperature is 116℃, which is much lower than that of common phenolic resin. Infrared spectroscopy analysis shows the resin which was made from straw has very similar IR peaks to those of phenolic resin.

The acid value of pyrolysate oil is 0.69-0.75 mg/g and its yield is 60%-63%. GC-MS found that main constituents of pyrolysate oil were benzene, naphthalene,ketone,ester,phenanthrene and other aromatic compounds. Acid value of pyrolysate oil is 0.075 g/L, dynamic viscosity (20℃)is 47.6 mm2/s, condensation point is -30℃, cold filter plugging point is 11℃, cetane number is 30.4。After mixing pyrolysis oil with other oils or improve performance of the pyrolysate oil, It can reach the national standards of petrochemical diesel.

    The effects of five factors on residue rate during the liquefaction of branches of Fraxinus chinensis Roxb. in tetralin-phenol hydrogen-donor solvents were investigated by orthogonal test. The optimal conditions were:reaction temperature 150℃,time 2.5 h, mass ratio of wood to phenol 1:6,catalyst (H2SO4) dosage 6.5%, tetralin dosage 20%. The liquefaction efficiency was 96% in above conditions. The sequence of factors were: time>temperature>mass ratio of wood to phonol=catalyst dosage>tetralin dosage. The bigger of time, mass ratio of wood to phenol, and tetralin dosage, the smaller of residue rate of liquefaction or the higher of liquefaction efficiency.

    Xylose-fermenting yeast Pachysolen tannophilus was mutated by Co60 rays. The mutant 800-3,which shows superior xylose utilizing and ethanol producing efficiency was isolated after selection. The effects of fermentation conditions on ethanol production were investigated. It is shown that the dissolved oxygen level and culture medium components exhibit significant effects on the ethanol yield. Under the conditions of shaking rate 100 r/min, medium volume 20/100 mL and YE concentration 1 g/L, the concentration of ethanol is 5.86 g/L, while that of xylitol is 12.95 g/L. Comparing with the former studies, the ethanol yield is much lower.

    2009, 43 (5):  31-34. 
    Abstract ( 851 )   PDF (1759KB) ( 1291 )   Save
    The experiments of biomass pyrolysis were carried out in the pipe-type furnace. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on the char yield was investigated. The difference of biomass pyrolysis char yield between agricultural biomass and forest biomass was studied. The SEM analysis of biomass char was done, the characterization of char surface structure in different pyrolysis temperature was studied. The results showed that the yield of char decreased with the increment of temperature. The char yield of cantleye corniculata and rice husk decreased from 28.38% and 45.84% at 300℃ to 7.55% and 15.45% at 600℃. The yield of char from agricultural biomass was higher than forest biomass at the same pyrolysis conditions. The maximum char yield was 30.32% from bran at 400℃. The minimum char yield was 19.23% from pyinkado, SEM analysis indicated that the char was porous structure.

    Under the conditions that the chain stoker main constructions not to be change and the capacity of the chain stoker not to be reduced, the rice hull particles were utilized in the 20 t/h chain stoker. The result shows with the increase of biomass ratio, the loss on ignition(LOI) of stag gradually decreased. The CO concentration and temperature of exhaust gas all gradually increased. The main reason of temperature increase was the combustion of biomass volatile in convective heating surface. It is concluded the small flux, high pressure and big velocity secondary air should be arranged in the front arch region or in the chamber throat in order to enhance the flue gas turbulent and the mix and combustion of air and volatile, so as to decrease the emission of SO2 and save the high quality bituminizes when the coal burning chain stoker combust biomass fuel.
