Abstract

Using fluidized bed type fast pyrolysis system (capacity 400 g/h) bio-oils were produced from beech (Fagus sylvatica) and softwood mixture (spruce and larch, 50:50). The pyrolysis was performed for 1~2 s at the temperature of $470{\pm}5^{\circ}C$. Pyrolysis products consisted of liquid form of bio-oil, char and gases. In beech wood bio-oil was formed to ca. 60% based on dry biomass weight and the yield of bio-oil was 49% in soft wood mixture. The moisture contents in both bio-oils were ranged between 17% and 22% and the bio-oil's density was measured to $1.2kg/{\ell}$. Bio-oils were composed of 45% carbon, 47% oxygen, 7% hydrogen and lower than 1% nitrogen,which was very similar to those of original biomass. In comparison with oils from fossil resources, oxygen content was very high in bio-oils, while no sulfur was found. More than 90 low molecular weight components, classified to aromatic and non aromatic compounds, were identified in bio-oils by gas chromatographic analysis, which amounted to 31~33% based on the dry weight of bio-oils.

유동형 급속열분해기 (fluidized bed type fast pyrolyzer, 용량 400 g/h)를 이용하여 너도밤나무와 침엽수 혼합재(독일가문비나무/전나무, 50:50) 에서 바이오오일을 생산하였다. 목질바이오매스의 열분해는 약 $470{\pm}5^{\circ}C$에서 1~2초 동안 진행되었다. 목질바이오매스의 열분해 생성물의 조성은 너도밤나무의 경우 바이오오일 60%, 탄 9% 그리고 가스가 31% 정도 생산되었으며, 침엽수 혼합재는 바이오일 49%, 탄 9%, 그리고 42% 가량의 가스가 생성되었다. 두 종류의 목질바이오매스에서 생산된 바이오오일의 수분함량은 약 17~22%이었으며, 밀도는 수종에 관계없이 $1.2kg/{\ell}$이었다. 바이오오일의 원소 조성은 탄소 45%, 산소 47%, 수소 7%, 그리고 질소 1%로 일반적인 목질바이오매스와 큰 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 화석자원에서 생산되는 오일류와 비교하여 바이오일은 산소함량이 매우 높았고 황은 전혀 포함되어 있지 않았다. 바이오오일의 GC 분석 결과 총 90여종의 방향족(aromatic) 또는 비방향족(non-aromatic) 저분자량 화합물이 검출되었으며 이들의 함량은 바이오오일 전건중량의 31~33%로 분석되었다.
