Upgrading of Rape Straw Pyrolytic Bio-oil Using Non-thermal Plasma Assisted by HZSM-5 Catalytic Cracking ZHAO Wei-dong, LAI Zhi-hao, CAI Yi-xi, HUANG Jian-quan, FAN Yong-sheng 2016, 36 (6):  9-15.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.0253-2417.2016.06.002 Abstract ( 735 )   PDF (1054KB) ( 510 )   Save Catalytic cracking is an efficient method for bio-oil upgrading. However, the catalyst was prone to coking and deactivating in upgrading process. This leads to the decrease of quality of upgrading bio-oil. Therefore, the non-thermal plasma(NTP) assisted catalytic cracking reactor with zeolite catalyst was designed. The effects of the operating parameters on yield and physicochemical properties of upgraded bio-oil were studied. Under the optimum operating parameters, i.e., the catalyst temperature of 400℃, catalyst bed height of 35 mm and reactor discharge power of 25 W, the yield of upgraded bio-oil, oxygen content, higher heating value(QHHV), pH value and heavy component were obtained as 9.13%, 15.78%, 34.86 MJ/kg, 5.41, 3.15%, respectively. In terms of thermal gravimetric analysis, the total coke amount on the surface of the catalyst decreased from 5.88% to 2.14% through the methodology of NTP assisted HZSM-5.

The wheat straw were firstly steam explored under 1.75 MPa pressure for 3.5 min, then treated by 55% ethanol at 170℃ for 30 min with a 1:5 solid to liquid ratio (g:mL). The hemicellulose content of the treated product was 89%, and the lignin content was decreased to 42.16%. The morphology structures of the treated wheat straw were analyzed by FT-IR, Fiber Fester and SEM. The results showed that the hemicelluloses were degraded significantly and the ester linkages were also destroyed after steam explosion, but only tiny degradation of cellulose was observed. For the fiber morphology, the average length of steam explored pulp was significantly decreased. However, the average width of the steam explored pulp were increased. After the ethanol pretreatment, there is no negative impact on the average fiber length, but a lower average width was observed. After this two-step pretreatment, a fluffier wheat straw was obtained and very few fragments were attached to the fiber surface. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Thermal Stability and Decomposition Kinetics of Hydroxytyrosol YUAN Jiao-jiao, YE Jian-zhong, WANG Cheng-zhang, LIU Yu-hong 2016, 36 (6):  87-92.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.0253-2417.2016.06.014 Abstract ( 751 )   PDF (682KB) ( 336 )   Save The thermal stability decomposition kinetics and shelflife of hydroxytyrosol were studied at different heating rates (β=5, 10, 20, 40 K/min). Thermal decomposing curves were obtained in the nitrogen atmosphere by TG analysis. Five thermal analysis kinetic methods of multi-heating rate methods(Kissinger, Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa) and single heating rate methods (Coats-Redfern and Achar) were used to speculate the probable mechanism of thermal decomposing reaction and the kinetic parameters including activation energy Ea and pre-exponential factor A. The shelflife of hydroxytyrosol at room temperature (25℃) was calculated by the kinetic parameters. The TG curve showed the decomposition of hydroxytyrosol was finished by one step, and the temperature of 260-409℃ was the main thermal decomposition stage at the heating rate of 10 K/min. With the increase of temperature, the steep and obvious weight loss occurred rapidly in the TG analysis. The DTG curve presented as negative value and decreased rapidly with the maximum loss ratio of -12.91%/min at 305.2℃. With the increase of the heating rate, thermal decomposing temperature of hydroxytyrosol rose, the thermal decomposing curves moved toward high temperature slightly and the decomposition showed hysteresis phenomenon. The probable kinetic mechanisms of thermal decomposition were one-dimensional diffusion. The average apparent activation energy (Ea) was 122.40 kJ/mol and pre-exponential factor (A) was 3.37×1010 min-1. The theoretical shelflife of hydroxytyrosol at room temperature was about 4-5 years in the nitrogen atmosphere. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effects of different raw material particle sizes and water contents on the methylene blue value, iodine value and yield of activated carbons were investigated. The results showed that the particle size and water content of raw materials had significant influence on activated carbons' absorption capability. Reducing the particle size within a certain range has positive effect to increase the absorption capability. However, the influences of water content were different between walnut shell and apricot shell. Increasing the water content had negative effect to the properties of activated carbon prepared from apricot shell with small size, but it was beneficial to the properties of activated carbon prepared from walnut shell. When walnut shell had the particle size of 0.5-0.7 mm and water content of 11%, the activated carbon by H3PO4 activation gave the yield of 41%, methylene blue value of 230 mg/g and iodine value of 874 mg/g. When apricot shell had the particle size of 0.7-1.2 mm and water content of 0%, the activated carbon had the yield of 42%, methylene blue value of 87 mg/g and iodine value of 734 mg/g.
