The current state of lignin has been characterized by these three: (1) as one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass with an abundant amount; (2) not be taken seriously but treated as a waste product; (3) underutilized due to a complex and stubborn structure. However, lignin can be a rich source for hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds when gives appropriate utilization. In this work, we have studied the hydrotreatment of alkaline lignin (AL) under relatively mild conditions and further investigated the characterization of hydrogenated lignin (HL), especially the behavior during fast pyrolysis. The recovery of the HL decreased with increasing reaction temperature from 60 wt.% to 41 wt.% in the range of 150–250 ℃. The hydrotreated products were analyzed using Elemental Analysis, FTIR (for HL) and GC–MS (for bio-oil). The HL samples were found to have a higher hydrogen/carbon atomic effective ratio (H/Ceff ratio) and a higher degree of saturation than AL. Compared to the internal structure of the lignin before and after hydrotreatment, the side chain groups were removed from AL during the process. After that, from the fast pyrolysis of HL, it was observed that more light hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds were formed than that of AL. Furthermore, fast pyrolysis in the hydrogen atmosphere revealed that more volatile fractions were released compared to the Helium atmosphere. The total olefins yield was increased for HL compared AL from 1.02 wt.% to 3.1 wt.% at 250 ℃ for 7 hours. This study of HL is instructive to some extent for the industrial utilization of lignin.

This work presents the formation of butyl levulinate, a potential fuel additive, and an excellent renewable chemical obtained by the butanolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FAL) over a solid acid catalyst. The butanolysis of furfuryl alcohol reaction is a strong function of acidity for which tungstated zirconia (WO3-ZrO2), a robust solid acid catalyst, and a sulfonated carbon catalyst were employed to produce high yields of butyl levulinate targeting a lower initial molar ratio of butanol to FAL. A maximum of 28 mol% yield of butyl levulinate was obtained with tungstated zirconia catalyst. Easily prepared sulfonated carbon catalyst at high reaction temperatures facilitated the complete conversion of reaction intermediate, 2-butoxymethylfuran (2-BMF) through which butyl levulinate was formed, and as high as 80 mol% of butyl levulinate yield was produced at an initial mole ratio of 8.5:1 of butanol to FAL. The better results of sulfonated carbon catalyst could be attributed to the presence of -SO3H, carboxylic acid, and phenolic OH groups on the carbon surface.

We suggest new CO2 absorption processes with biphasic phase separation type for reducing consumption energy. the CO2-rich solution liquid was separated hydrophilic liquid and hydrophobic liquid. In this work, we studied some kind of amine and ether mixture solvents, and observed phase separation phenomena. From the results of phase separation characteristics, we selected with 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-prophanol (AMP), diethylene diethyl ether (DEGDEE) and water pair. We measured the CO2 solubility at different temperature and CO2 patricidal pressure conditions, and evaluated the effect of component concentration in the solvents on CO2 absorption characteristics and phase separation phenomena. We adjusted the biphasic solvents. AMP, DEGDEE and H2O of biphasic solvent weight-composition ratio are 30, 20 and 50 wt% respectively. The CO2 solubility of absorption at 40 ℃, 0.1atm was obtained 0.647 mol-CO2/mol-AMINE. The CO2 solubility of desorption at 90℃, 1.0 atm was obtained 0.177 mol-CO2/mol-AMINE. The difference of CO2 loading of this solvent was high performance of CO2 capture compared with that of other solvents. These result is attributed to the additive phase assisting in the regeneration of CO2 by extracting the regenerated amine. The results of the present study show reduction of desorption temperature and high CO2 absorption performance.

Durability and fire hazard risk evaluation were conducted to determine the process feasibility on the unique phase separation solvent with low regeneration temperature (90 °C), consisting of amine, ether, and small amount of water. The results we obtained are as follows; I) The amine degradation rate of the phase separation solvent would be less than 1/10 of that of monoethanolamine (MEA), which was contributed by its high oxidative resistant nature and low regeneration temperature. II) The gas composition formed in the absorber was completely out of combustible range and almost no accumulations of explosive compounds such as peroxides were observed when in contact with 6 % oxygen containing gas (dry base). Therefore, we believe that the phase separation solvent is applicable to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired thermal power plants.

We calculated the energy required for regeneration when the phase separation solvent solvent is applied to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired power plants. This solvent is characterized by regeneration at a low temperature of less than 100°C. As a result, it was clarified that under ideal conditions with no pressure drop and no heat loss, the required energy could be suppressed to 1.5 GJ/ton-CO2 by satisfying the following conditions; i) pinch point of the heat exchanger between rich-amine and lean-amine: 1 °C, ii) water concentration of the solvent: kept at 10 wt%, iii) COP of the heat pump: 5.5. However, increase of the pinch point, increase of the water concentration, and decrease of the COP will all result in a significant increase in the required energy. Therefore, in order to realize a process with low energy consumption, it is essential to meet these design constraints.

The unique phase separation type amine/ether absorbent is expected to realize the CO2 separation process with low-energy consumption (1.5GJ/ton-CO2). In this study, a degradation test of the absorbent under thermal load of liquid regeneration was conducted in order to clarify 1) the behavior of its performance declination for CO2 capture and 2) the behavior of amine loss mainly caused by generation of by-product. The regeneration condition was chosen based on two assumptions that a) most likely to damage to the solution, which means high-oxidation atmosphere containing oxygen and sulfur oxide, and b) adopting actual operating temperature when absorbing or desorbing. As a result, only a small amount of the CO2 capture capability was lost through 48 hours cyclic thermal load of 50-90 °C. Consequently, it was found that the phase separation type solvent could be durable enough for the practical use. Besides, the running cost associated with make-up amine might be drastically reduced.

Energy-saving CO<inf>2</inf> Capture Process Using Phase Separation Type Solvent by Aqueous (amine + ether) Solution

We have developed the phase separation solvent for CO2 capture. Our developed solvent consists amine, organic solvent and water and shows single liquid phase before CO2 absorption though it shows two liquid phases after CO2 absorption. Feature of phase separation solvent is reducing temperature difference between absorber and stripper. We apply the heat pump system for CO2 separation and evaluate the energy consumption. Low temperature swing process saves energy requirement for CO2 capture process with highly-effective reaction-heat recovering. To evaluate the CO2 capture system with our solvent, screening test for amine and organic solvent combination and CO2 solubility measurement were examined. In the phase separation test, three types of solvents were obtained by combining amine and ether, that is, no phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, and thoroughly immiscible. The phase behaviour depends on the hydrophobicity of amines or organic solvents, and the types of solvents were classified using the hydrophobic parameter.
