CATALYTIC HYDROPYROLYSIS OF ORGANOPHILIC BIOMASS

摘要

A process for producing fuel from biomass is disclosed herein. The process includes torrefying biomass material at a temperature between 80°C and 300°C to form particulated biomass having a mean average particle size from about 1 µ?? to about 1000 µ??. The particulated biomass is mixed with a liquid to form a suspension, wherein the liquid comprises bio-oil, wherein the suspension includes between 1 weight percent to 40 weight percent particulated biomass. The suspension is fed into a hydropyrolysis reactor; and at least a portion of the particulated biomass of the suspension is converted into fuel.
