Özet
In the first step of this study, the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of cellulose was performed at 225 and 250 degrees C for 4, 8 and 12 h. The effect of temperature and residence time on hydrochar (HC) yields and characteristics was investigated, and the highest hydrochar yield had a heating value of 21.06 MJ/kg. In the second step, cellulose and hydrochar-derived cellulose was subjected to fast online pyrolysis at 500, 600 and 700 degrees C, using a pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system. The HTC process significantly affected the pyrolysis products. The major decomposition product resulting from the fast pyrolysis of cellulose was levoglucosan, but at all tested temperatures, 2-methylfuran was the major product from hydrochars. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature caused a decrease in the relative yield of 2-methylfuran. Another prominent compound observed in pyrolyzates was 2,5-dimethylfuran. The relative yields of these two compounds decreased when the residence time of the HTC process was increased. The highest 2-methylfuran selectivity was 67.4%, while the highest 2,5-dimethylfuran selectivity among the furanic compounds was 24.0%. This study demonstrated that, by combining HTC and pyrolysis processes, fine chemicals can be produced from cellulose.
