Bench-Scale Research in Biomass Liquefaction in Support of the Albany, Oregon Experimental Facility

摘要

Key process parameters and the effects of varying operating conditions are being confirmed in support of the Biomass Liquefaction Experimental Facility. Some highlights of work performed include: catalyst mechanism studies; analytical reports on TR8 and TR9 product oils; liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy analysis of wood oil; batch conversion tests on bottom material; vapor pressure studies; and product application evaluation. The process being investigated entails the liquefaction of solid materials (wood, newsprint, animal manure) by heating to produce useful liquid fuels. (ERA citation 06:019987)
