Effect of alkaline compound on hydrothermal liquefaction of sugarcane leaves in ethanol-water co-solvent
Abstract:
This work explored biocrude production from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of
sugarcane leaves in a semi-continuous flow reactor. Reactions were carried out under various
temperatures between 280 °C and 320 °C with corresponding pressures for 2 hours extracting
time. The effect of operating parameters on the HTL using ethanol-water as co-solvent was
extensively investigated, along with influence of alkaline compound. The highest biocrude
yield including biocrude 1 (dichloromethane fraction) and biocrude 2 (acetone fraction) was
approximately 21.79% as well as conversion (72.76%) in presence of 3 wt.% K3PO4 in
mixture of ethanol and water (50/50 v/v). In addition, increasing reaction temperature and
catalytic concentration ramped up an amount of total oil significantly in case of equivalent
co-solvent. In contrast, the maximum oil was widely observed at the point of 1 wt.% K3PO4
in pure water. Besides, the ethanol-water mixture (50/50 v/v) dominated entirely as the
suitable candidate for HTL solvents with 16.05%, 15.92% and 8.92% of total oil yield
corresponding to 50/50 co-solvent, pure ethanol and pure water, respectively, at 320 °C, 0.5
ml/min flow rate and without catalyst.
