摘要
传统的生物油温和加氢处理工艺存在高聚合度、低产油率、高结焦率和催化剂回收率差等问题。为了应对这些挑战,目前的研究旨在通过溶剂辅助稳定方法(甲醇(甲基安非他明)、乙醇(ETH)、异丙醇(IPA)和乙醚(DME))来研究和提高原料生物油有机相样品的性能。极性较高的溶剂如甲醇(甲基安非他明)和乙醇(ETH)的油馏分更高(分别为64%和62%),而极性较低的溶剂如乙醚(二甲醚)的油馏分为59%。异丙醇(IPA)具有中间极性,其产油率达到63%,表明其具有溶解极性和非极性组分的能力。稳定生物油的减湿顺序为IPA b> ETH > METH > DME,其中IPA由于其结构特点有利于脱水,减湿幅度最大。粘度降低不同,IPA > ETH > DME >甲基。稳定生物油中二甲醚、ETH和甲基苯丙胺的碳回收率为65% ~ 75%,异丙酚的碳回收率为71%。稳定生物油的热值在28 ~ 29 MJ/kg之间,其中ipa稳定生物油的热值最高(29.05±0.06 MJ/kg)。甲基安非他明具有较强的供氢能力,稳定生物油的效率高达74.8%。ETH紧随其后,为69.5%,表明其在生物油稳定方面的性能相当。考虑到其分子结构和氢溶解度,IPA的效率中等(69.3%),是一种平衡的选择。相比之下,二甲醚由于其较弱的加氢能力和倾向于不良副反应,其效率较低(63.6%)。目前的研究表明,高达200°C的亚临界条件足以稳定甲基安非他明、ETH和IPA的生物油,与超临界条件下获得的结果相当。
Stabilization of the Bio-Oil Organic Phase via Solvent-Assisted Hydrotreating, Part 1: Investigating the Influence of Various Solvents.
Conventional mild hydrotreatment processes of bio-oil present significant challenges of a high degree of polymerization, a low oil yield, high coke formation, and poor catalyst recovery. To address these challenges, the current study looked into investigating and enhancing the properties of raw bio-oil organic phase samples via a solvent-assisted stabilization approach using methanol (METH), ethanol (ETH), isopropyl alcohol (IPA), and ethyl ether (DME). Solvents like methanol (METH) and ethanol (ETH), which are highly polar, yielded higher oil fractions (64% and 62%, respectively) compared to less polar solvents like ethyl ether (DME) at 59%. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), with intermediate polarity, achieved a balanced oil yield of 63%, indicating its ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar components. Moisture reduction in stabilized bio-oils followed the order IPA > ETH > METH > DME, with IPA showing the highest reduction due to its structural characteristics facilitating dehydration. Viscosity reduction varied, with IPA > ETH > DME > METH. Carbon recovery in stabilized bio-oils ranged from 65% to 75% for DME, ETH, and METH and was 71% for IPA. The heating values of stabilized bio-oils ranged from 28 to 29 MJ/kg, with IPA-stabilized bio-oil showing the highest value (29.05 ± 0.06 MJ/kg). METH demonstrated high efficiency (74.8%) in stabilizing bio-oil, attributed to its strong hydrogen-donating capability. ETH followed closely at 69.5%, indicating its comparable performance in bio-oil stabilization. With moderate efficiency (69.3%), IPA presents a balanced alternative considering its molecular structure and hydrogen solubility. In contrast, DME exhibited lower efficiency (63.6%) due to its weaker hydrogenation capability and propensity for undesired side reactions. The current study suggests that subcritical conditions up to 200 °C are adequate for METH, ETH, and IPA in bio-oil stabilization, comparable to results obtained under supercritical conditions.

Aims
Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of bioengineering. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. All aspects of bioengineering are welcomed from theoretical concepts to education and applications. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, four key features of this Journal:
● We are introducing a new concept in scientific and technical publications “The Translational Case Report in Bioengineering”. It is a descriptive explanatory analysis of a transformative or translational event. Understanding that the goal of bioengineering scholarship is to advance towards a transformative or clinical solution to an identified transformative/clinical need, the translational case report is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles that may guide other similar transformative/translational undertakings.
● Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.
● Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
● We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.
