Abstract
Microwave is an alternative method which can rapidly pyrolyze biomass by thermal treating, and produce clean syngas and bio-oil products. In this research, the wood particles microwave pyrolysis process was proposed for preparing bio-oil and syngas production. The wood particles were first pyrolyzed by microwave reactor in the process, and then the bio-oil products were separated by cyclone separator and multi-phase separator, syngas products were prepared by steam reforming reactor and absorption tower. Kinetics for larch microwave thermogravimetry reactions were proposed and correlated with lab-scale experiments; the microwave pyrolysis process was simulated in Aspen HYSYS, and the results showed that when pyrolysis reaction temperature and microwave power were 900℃ and 2.0 kW respectively, the maximum bio-oil and syngas production can be achieved. The H2/CO and CO2 content in syngas which can be used in chemical processes such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, can be controlled by the molar ratio function of steam and pyrolysis gas.
