Upgrading Biomass Pyrolysis Oils

摘要

Highly oxygenated, biomass-derived oils can be upgraded to high quality hydrocarbon fuels by catalytic hydrotreating. Pacific Northwest Laboratory has successfully converted both high-pressure liquefaction oils and low-pressure pyrolysis oils to a highly aromatic, gasoline boiling range fuel. These studies were conducted in a 1-liter, continuous-flow reactor system. Six different biomass-derived oils and one peat-derived oil have been tested. 17 refs., 4 figs., 4 tabs.
