Abstract:

The intensification effect of ultrasonic-microwave (UW-MW) assisted on the liquefaction of fir sawdust was discussed by using n-octanol as a solvent and sulfuric acid as a catalyst.The influence of process parameters on the liquefaction ratio was investigated, and the liquefied products were characterized and analyzed.The experimental results showed that ultrasonic-microwave had a good effect on the mass and heat transfer enhancement effect.Compared with the traditional liquefaction, the reaction time of sawdust ultrasonic-microwave assisted liquefaction was shortened from 60 min to 20 min, and the liquefaction ratio increased by 5.24%.Under the conditions of the mass ratio of solvent to sawdust of 6, the concentration of catalyst of 0.6 mol/L, the liquefaction rate of sawdust reached 64.30%, and the proper addition of γ-valerolactone could increased the liquefaction rate to 81.17%.In the liquefaction process, a little molten materials gradually deposited on the surface of the solid-residue product (SR), which hindered the further liquefaction of the fir sawdust.The most of degradation products of cellulose and hemicelluloses in the sawdust were mainly small-molecule sugars etc.which were enriched in the water-soluble product (WS).The degradation products of lignin were mainly composed of aromatic etc.substances which were distributed in the bio-oil product (BO).
