摘 要：We have successfully demonstrated a novel reactor technology, based on BASF dual layer monolith catalyst, for miniaturizing the autothermal reforming of pyrolysis oil to syngas, the second and most critical of the three steps for thermochemically converting biomass waste to liquid transportation fuel. The technology was applied to aged as well as fresh samples of pyrolysis oil derived from five different biomass feedstocks, namely switch-grass, sawdust, hardwood/softwood, golden rod and maple. Optimization of process conditions in conjunction with innovative reactor system design enabled the minimization of carbon deposit and control of the H2/CO ratio of the product gas. A comprehensive techno-economic analysis of the integrated process using in part, experimental data from the project, indicates (1) net energy recovery of 49accounting for all losses and external energy input, (2) weight of diesel oil produced as a percent of the biomass to be approx. 14, and (3) for a demonstration size biomass to Fischer-Tropsch liquid plant of approx. 2000 daily barrels of diesel, the price of the diesel produced is approx. $3.30 per gallon, ex. tax. However, the extension of catalyst life is critical to the realization of the projected economics.
