Abstract

The effects of feedstock type on hydrothermal liquefaction were explored through the co-conversion of waste activated sludge and various lignocellulosic biomass sources, including birchwood sawdust, cornstalk, and waste newspaper. This investigation aimed to produce bio-oil under consistent conditions at 310 °C and a 10-min reaction time, with subsequent comparison to results obtained using single feedstocks. The co-feeding of sludge with cornstalk and sawdust demonstrated the highest bio-oil yields at 34.2 % and 33.7 % wt%, respectively. The comprehensive characterization of the bio-oil products revealed that feedstock type influenced elemental composition and, consequently, the higher heating value of the bio-oils. Bio-oils derived from co-feeds exhibited a significant presence of nitrogenous compounds, esters, and fatty acids in contrast to the high percentage of phenolic compounds found in bio-oils from single feedstocks. Furthermore, these co-feed bio-oils displayed lower molecular weights, higher quantities of low boiling point compounds, increased volatile matter content, and reduced fixed carbon content compared to bio-oils produced from single feedstocks.

废活性污泥与木质纤维素废弃物水热液化共转化的比较研究

通过对废活性污泥和多种木质纤维素生物质原料（桦木锯末、玉米秸秆和废报纸）的共转化，探讨了原料类型对水热液化的影响。本研究旨在在310°C和10分钟反应时间的一致条件下生产生物油，并随后与使用单一原料获得的结果进行比较。污泥与玉米秸秆和木屑共投投的生物油产率最高，分别为34.2%和33.7% wt%。生物油产品的综合表征表明，原料类型影响了生物油的元素组成，从而影响了生物油的高热值。从共同饲料中提取的生物油显示出大量氮化合物、酯类和脂肪酸的存在，与从单一原料中提取的生物油中发现的高百分比的酚类化合物形成对比。此外，与单一原料生产的生物油相比，这些共饲料生物油表现出更低的分子量、更多的低沸点化合物、更高的挥发物含量和更低的固定碳含量。

期刊介绍： Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials. The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy. Key areas covered by the journal: • Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation. • Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal. • Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes • Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation • Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
