Abstract:
A thermochemical direct liquefaction process is investigated. The reactions took place in a reactor at ambient pressure, from which vapours were continuously allowed to evaporate and be collected. A low-volatile reaction medium e.g. a tar was placed in the reactor and served as reaction phase for the biomass. Four reaction media were selected to analyse their ability to liquefy lignocellulosics. The tested media were: softwood tar, Olex WF 0801 (a thermal oil), coal tar, and phenanthrene. Softwood tar showed the most promise for the production of a bio-crude oil, while the aromatic hydrocarbons showed less interaction with and the ability to liquefy the biomass.
