Enhanced Distillate Oil Recovery from Thermal Processing and Catalytic Cracking of Biomass Slurry
A method for thermal processing and catalytic cracking of a biomass to effect distillate oil recovery can include, particle size reduction. slurrying the biomass with a carrier fluid to create a reaction mixture, slurrying a catalyst with a carrier fluid to create a catalyst slurry, heating the reaction mixture and/or the catalyst slurry, and depolymerizing the reaction mixture with the catalyst. The reaction mixture can undergo distillation and fractionation to produce distillate fractions that include naphtha, kerosene, and diesel. In some embodiments, thermal processing and catalytic cracking includes vaporization of the biomass followed by distillation and fractionation. In some embodiments, a resulting distillate can be used as a carrier fluid. In some embodiments, the method can include desulfurization, dehydration, and/or decontamination.
Biorefining Method
The present invention relates generally to the generation of bio-products from organic matter feedstocks. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved methods for the hydrothermal/thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic and/or fossilized organic feedstocks into biofuels (e.g. bio-oils) and/or chemical products (e.g. platform chemicals).
PROCESS FOR ONE-POT LIQUEFACTION OF BIOMASS OR COAL AND BIOMASS
Disclosed is a process for the one-pot liquefaction of a biomass or coal and a biomass, the process comprising: first preparing a slurry containing a catalyst, a vulcanizing agent and a biomass (and coal), and then introducing hydrogen gas into the slurry to carry out a reaction. Preparing the slurry comprises: subjecting a biomass (and coal) sequentially to drying, a first pulverization, compression and a second pulverization, then mixing same with a catalyst and a vulcanizing agent to obtain a mixture, and adding the mixture to an oil product for grinding and pulping to obtain a biomass slurry. By means of the treatment process of subjecting the straw firstly to compression and then to a second pulverization, the volume of the straw is greatly reduced, thereby facilitating the dispersion thereof in the oil product, increasing the concentration of the reaction material, and improving the delivery amount of the biomass per unit time by means of a pump; Furthermore, the conversion rate of the biomass is also improved.
PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING ENERGY PRODUCTS BY CATALYTIC CRACKING OF A HYDROCARBON-BASED SOLID MATERIAL WITHOUT COKE FORMATION
