Han, Yinglei published the artcileTernary Phase Diagram of Water/Bio-Oil/Organic Solvent for Bio-Oil Fractionation, Synthetic Route of 111-87-5, the main research area is ternary phase diagram water biofuel organic solvent fractionation.
Separating bio-oil by fractionation with different chem. compositions is a critical step to refine these oils and obtain high-value products. Cold water precipitation of pyrolytic lignin from bio-oil is the most common approach used. However, the obtained aqueous phase from this method still contains phenols and is diluted and difficult to use. In this study, the use of liquid-liquid extraction with different solvents (1-butanol, Et acetate, 1-octanol, dichloromethane, toluene, and hexane) for the separation of targeted mols. (lignin oligomers, sugars, acetic acid) is explored. Ternary phase diagrams for the organic solvent/water/bio-oil are reported. The partition coefficient of compounds of interest (both light and heavy fractions) is reported for the liquid-liquid equilibrium zone. When using butanol as the solvent, the highest separation factor of total phenols over total sugars was observed Our results provide information to design L-L separation units with the capacity to selectively recover targeted mols. from pyrolysis oils.
