다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Biomass fast pyrolysis is a thermochemical conversion aimed at producing liquid-phase bio-oil mostly from lignocellulosic biomass. Recently we have constructed and operated a pilot-scale BFB reactor that can treat 2 t/d of lignocellulosic biomass. One of the characteristics of this system is the utilization of pyrolysis byproducts such as bio-char and syngas to provide both reaction heat and carrier gas. Fluidizing characteristics of sand media with carrier gas flow rate was investigated at temperatures above 400°C. Major feedstocks tested in this system include sawdust from a domestic wood pellet manufacture and emptyfruit bunch (EFB) from a palm-oil mill in Malaysia. Effect of the carrier gas supply methods on the properties of bio-oil product was examined.
