Hydrodeoxygenation of Spent Coffee Bio-oil from Fast Pyrolysis using HZSM-5 and Dolomite Catalysts

초록

Spent coffee is one of biomass sources to be converted into bio-oil. However, the bio-oil should be further upgraded to achieve ahigher quality bio-oil because of its high oxygen content. Deoxygenation under hydrotreating using different catalysts (catalytichydrodeoxygenation; HDO) is considered as one of the promising methods for upgrading bio-oil from pyrolysis by removal ofO-containing groups. In this study, the HDO of spent coffee bio-oil, which was collected from fast pyrolysis of spent coffee (460 ℃, 2.0 × Umf), wascarried out in an autoclave. The product yields were 72.16 ~ 96.76 wt% of bio-oil, 0 ~ 18.59 wt% of char, and 3.24 ~ 9.25 wt% ofgas obtained in 30 min at temperatures between 250 ℃ and 350 ℃ and pressure in the range of 3 to 9 bar. The highest yield ofbio-oil of 97.13% was achieved at 250 ℃ and 3 bar, with high selectivity of D-Allose. The carbon number distribution of thebio-oil was analyzed based on the concept of simulated distillation. The C12 ~ C14 fraction increased from 22.98 wt% to 27.30wt%, whereas the C19 ~ C26 fraction decreased from 24.74 wt% to 17.18 wt% with increasing reaction time. Bio-oil yields wereslightly decreased when the HZSM-5 catalyst and dolomite were used. The selectivity of CO was increased at the HZSM-5catalyst and decreased at the dolomite.
