Tóm tắt

The goal of this project was to develop a novel integrated direct biomass liquefaction process with improved hydrogen utilization and better carbon efficiency compared to other thermochemical conversion technologies for advanced biofuels production. Reactive catalytic fast pyrolysis, or RCFP, combines a robust hydrodeoxygenation catalyst for in situ pyrolysis in an excess of hydrogen at atmospheric (low) pressure. RCFP was developed to leverage advantages from catalytic fast pyrolysis (process simplicity and improved bio-crude quality) and biomass hydropyrolysis (enhanced hydrodeoxygenation) to produce a thermally-stable, low oxygen containing bio-crude intermediate that can be upgraded in a single conventional hydroprocessing step to produce gasoline- and diesel-range hydrocarbons. In parallel, carbon lost to the aqueous phase was recovered as renewable methane from anaerobic digestion to offset fossil carbon required to meet the hydrogen demand of the integrated process.
