Abstract:
In this paper, an experimental study on the hydrotreatment of fast pyrolysis liquids is reported in both batch and continuous set-ups using a novel bimetallic Ni–Cu based catalyst with high Ni loading (up to 50%) prepared by a sol–gel method. The experiments were carried out in a wide temperature range (80–410 °C) and at a hydrogen pressure between 100–200 bar to determine product properties and catalyst performance as a function of process conditions. To gain into the molecular transformations, the product oils were analysed by GC × GC, 1H-NMR and GPC and reveal that the sugar fraction is reactive in the low temperature range (<200 °C), whereas the lignin fraction is only converted at elevated temperatures (>300 °C). In addition, the organic acids are very persistent and reactivity was only observed above 350 °C. The results are rationalized using a reaction network involving competitive hydrogenation of reactive aldehydes and ketones of the sugar fraction of fast pyrolysis liquids and thermal polymerisation. In addition, relevant macro-properties of the product oils including flash point (30 to 80 °C), viscosity (0.06 to 0.93 Pa s) and TG residue (<1 to about 8 wt%) were determined and compared. Product oils with the lowest oxygen content (<13 wt%) were obtained in the continuous set-up at 410 °C.
