Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomass energy utilization, and particularly relates to a bio-oil electrochemical upgrading method.
Background
Bio-oil is the pyrolysis product of biomass and is the only carbon-containing renewable energy source present in liquid form. Compared with biomass, bio-oil has a high energy density, which is typically up to 10 times the energy density of biomass. The conversion of biomass into bio-oil is a promising low-cost utilization of biomass energy. However, bio-oils currently have no mature industrially applicable or processing technology. The fundamental reason for the difficulty in handling and applying bio-oil is its characteristic physicochemical properties. Bio-oil is complex in composition, high in acid value, high in viscosity and corrosive, which makes it difficult to transport and store on a large scale. The bio-oil has high oxygen content, many heavy components (high molecular weight) and low heat value, which makes it difficult to directly apply the bio-oil to combustion equipment. Therefore, bio-oils must be refined and upgraded to improve fuel properties or to refine high value-added chemicals. At present, the bio-oil upgrading method is mainly based on traditional methods of thermochemical hydrodeoxygenation, catalytic cracking, steam reforming and the like, and the treatment process needs to be carried out in a high-temperature or high-pressure environment. However, the biological oil has poor thermal stability, is easy to coke and form carbon deposition when being heated, causes blockage of a reactor or inactivation of a catalyst, reduces the upgrading efficiency, and even leads to difficult reaction.
In view of the above, the development of a bio-oil quality-improving method under mild conditions (e.g., normal temperature and pressure) would have important application value.

As a further preferred aspect of the present invention, in the step (d), the protective gas is nitrogen or an inert gas; preferably, the inert gas is argon or helium.
Through the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) compared with the existing bio-oil upgrading technology, the method has the greatest advantages that the method aims at all components of bio-oil, the bio-oil is not required to be separated in advance, the process is simple, the carbon components in the bio-oil are kept to the greatest extent, and the method is convenient for further processing and utilization after upgrading.
(2) According to the invention, under the action of electric energy, the purpose of primarily upgrading the bio-oil under mild conditions is realized through the breaking of C-O chemical bonds in the bio-oil component molecules, the hydrogenation of benzene rings and the in-situ coupling of acid-alcohol esterification reaction, so that the bio-oil content is reduced, the aromatic component content is reduced, and the heavy component content is reduced, and the bio-oil is more suitable for transportation and storage. The biological oil sample can be effectively dissolved by adopting the organic solvent, and the viscosity of the biological oil sample is reduced, so that the biological oil sample is suitable for the electrolytic cell; meanwhile, the alcohol solvent is preferably used as the organic solvent in the invention, because the alcohol is one of the main components of the bio-oil, the viscosity of the bio-oil is reduced after the bio-oil is added, but the components are not influenced too much, and the bio-oil can be directly utilized after being upgraded.
(3) The method has mild reaction conditions, the whole electrochemical treatment process is carried out at normal temperature (such as 20-25 ℃, and certainly at other temperatures of 20-60 ℃) and normal pressure (namely, one standard atmospheric pressure), the process operation is simple, no coking and carbon deposition exist in the reaction process, the reaction start and stop are rapid, the reaction conditions can be accurately controlled, and intermittent or continuous reaction can be realized. The method is preferably carried out at 20-60 ℃ to be suitable for the electrochemical upgrading of the bio-oil, so that the negative effects that the reactivity of components in the bio-oil is low and the upgrading efficiency is low when the temperature is lower than 20 ℃, side reactions such as hydrogen evolution and the like begin to be active and the upgrading efficiency is reduced when the temperature is higher than 60 ℃ can be avoided (of course, too high temperature can also cause evaporation of alcohol components or solvents, so that the fluidity of the bio-oil is poor and the reaction process is influenced).
Biological oils have the characteristics of high viscosity, low conductivity, and low solubility in supporting electrolytes, making them unsuitable for electrochemical processes. The invention adopts organic solvent (especially alcohol solvent), on one hand, the biological oil sample can be effectively dissolved, and the viscosity of the biological oil sample can be reduced, so that the biological oil sample is suitable for the electrolytic cell. On the other hand, by using a supporting electrolyte having a high solubility in these organic solvents in combination, and preferably making the concentration of the supporting electrolyte in the catholyte to be 0.1 to 0.2mol/L, it is possible to overcome the disadvantages of low solubility of the supporting electrolyte in the bio-oil and low conductivity of the bio-oil and to improve the conductivity of the bio-oil. In addition, the invention preferably adopts an alcohol solvent as the organic solvent, the type of the alcohol solvent can be particularly determined according to alcohol components contained in the bio-oil, and the alcohol solvent contained in the bio-oil is selectively added, so that the influence on the components of the bio-oil can be reduced to the greatest extent, and the bio-oil after being upgraded can be further utilized conveniently. Taking an organic solvent as an alcohol solvent as an example, the ratio of the bio-oil to the alcohol solvent in the invention is preferably 9:1-4:1, so that the bio-oil is very suitable for electrochemical upgrading of bio-oil, and the problems that when the ratio of the bio-oil to the alcohol solvent is too low, the alcohol solvent is too much, and the alcohol solvent volatilizes to cause loss of organic components in the bio-oil, so that the upgrading effect is influenced can be avoided; and when the ratio of the biological oil to the alcohol solvent is too high, the fluidity of the biological oil is insufficient, the electrochemical quality improvement is not facilitated, and meanwhile, the negative effects of saturated adsorption-state reaction substance sites on the surface of the electrode, low reaction efficiency and the like are caused due to too high biological oil concentration.
Aromatic components in the bio-oil are easy to generate oxidation reaction at the anode and polymerize in the electrochemical treatment process, and carbon deposition is generated on the surface of the electrode. The invention adopts the form of an ion exchange membrane to ensure that the biological oil participates in the reaction only at one side of the cathode. On one hand, the polymerized carbon deposition of the bio-oil at the anode can be avoided, on the other hand, the acid in the bio-oil can be effectively removed, and the corrosivity of the bio-oil is reduced. The acid in the bio-oil can be separated by adopting a three-chamber and two-membrane mode, and the acid can be used as a byproduct of the method after collection.
The current range of the invention is 50-200mA, which is a current interval suitable for the electrochemical upgrading of the bio-oil. The current is directly related to the reaction rate, which in turn affects the upgrading efficiency. The current is lower than 50mA, the quantity of electrons, protons and adsorbed reactants participating in the reaction on the surface of the electrode is insufficient, and the biological oil quality improvement efficiency is not high; the current is higher than 200mA, the adsorption state reaction substance sites on the surface of the electrode are saturated, the increase of the current does not increase the upgrading reaction strength, but increases the side reaction strength such as hydrogen evolution and the like, and reduces the upgrading efficiency of the bio-oil, so the electrochemical reaction is carried out under the current condition of 50-200 mA.
