UPGRADE OF FLASH PYROLYSIS CONDENSATE BY ESTERIFICATION WITH HIGHER ALCOHOLS - (PPT)

摘要

The utilization of condensates from flash pyrolysis is hindered by unwanted properties like corrosivity, high viscosity and the tendency to polymerization during prolonged storage. These characteristics result from the high content of organic acids and multiple functional groups and C-C double bonds in its constituents. As an alternative to severe hydroprocessing for the mitigation of these challenges, the addition of butanol and subsequent esterification of acids and acetalisation of ketones is investigated.
