MISCIBLE BIO-OIL FUELS AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

Improved miscible bio-oil fuels described herein include petroleum diesel or at least one first fluid as an agent when obtaining a bio-oil. The ratio of the first fluid to bio-oil as a mixture in the fuel ranges from 95:05 to 05:95. Improved miscible bio-oil fuels are generally not highly acidic. The process of producing said improved fuels includes providing a first fluid as a quenching agent when obtaining a bio-oil vapor during biomass pyrolysis. The improved miscible bio-oil fuels comprise a mixture that may be further processed and/or filtered prior to storage or use. The improved miscible bio-oil fuels may thus, in some forms, undergo an acid esterification reaction that raises pH of the mixture and provides oxidative stability. Additional processes to raise pH of the mixture and/or provide oxidative stability are also suitable. In one or more forms, improved miscible bio-oil fuels as described comply with at least ASTM D975 and/or other comparable tests for use. Said fuels provided herein do not contain biodiesel or in a quantity that requires testing, thus testing of said under ASTM 6751 is not necessary or required.
