Popis: | Lignin-rich digested stillage from second-generation bioethanol production is a unique biomass-derived feedstock, not only because it contains high amounts of lignin but also due to its residual amounts of cellulose and hemicellulose. In this study, catalytic hydrotreatment experiments were conducted on pyrolysis liquids obtained from the lignin-rich feedstock using sulphided NiMo/Al2O3 and CoMo/Al2O3 catalysts. The aim was to obtain a high conversion of the initial pyrolysis feed into a hydrotreated oil with a high phenolics and aromatics fractions. Experiments were carried out in a stirred batch reactor at 350 degrees C and 10 MPa of H-2 (initial pressure). Product oils were obtained in about 60-65% w/w, the remainder being an aqueous phase (12-14% w/w), solids (7-8% w/w) and gas phase components (all on initial pyrolysis oil feed basis). The product oils were characterised in detail using various techniques (elemental composition, GCxGC-FID, GPC, and 2D HSQC NMR). The oxygen content was reduced from 23% w/w in the pyrolysis oils to 7.5-11.5% in the hydrotreated oils, indicative of the occurrence of hydrodeoxygenation reactions. This was also evident from the chemical composition, showing an increase in the amounts of low molecular weight aromatics, alkylphenolics, alkanes and cycloalkanes in hydrotreated oils. Performance of the two catalysts was compared, and a higher degree of deoxygenation was observed for the NiMo catalyst. The implications of the findings for the valorisation of second-generation bioethanol residues are also discussed. |
