In 2022,Wu, Long; Ma, Huameng; Mei, Jingsheng; Li, Yanhua; Xu, Qing; Li, Zhanyong published an article in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. The title of the article was 《Low energy consumption and high quality bio-fuels production via in-situ fast pyrolysis of reed straw by adding metallic particles in an induction heating reactor》.SDS of cas: 696-59-3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
An in-situ fast pyrolysis of biomass by adding metallic particles in an induction heating reactor was proposed to produce high quality bio-fuels. After adding metallic particles into biomass, the times required to reach complete pyrolysis during reed straw pyrolysis process were significantly reduced up to 28.9%. The yields of combustible gas and bio-oil products were significantly increased. Furthermore, higher-quality combustible gas and bio-oil products were obtained with the LHV of gas products and HHV of bio-oil (dry basis) increased by 14.2%-19.1% and 4.16%-16.35%, resp., under 400-600°C. The lower oxygen content and higher yields of aromatics, alkenes and alkanes contents in bio-oil were obtained after metallic particles addition More importantly, up to 26.5% of the total energy consumption during pyrolysis process was reduced after adding metallic particles into biomass in an induction heating reactor. The results indicate that adding metallic particles into biomass in an induction heating reactor can significantly enhance the heat transfer, decomposition reaction intensity and energy utilization efficiency of biomass pyrolysis process with lower energy consumption and higher-quality bio-fuel production In the experiment, the researchers used 2,5-Dimethoxytetrahydrofuran(cas: 696-59-3SDS of cas: 696-59-3)
2,5-Dimethoxytetrahydrofuran(cas: 696-59-3) is a member of ether. Friedel Crafts reaction, for example, adds an alkyl or acyl group to aromatic ethers when they react with an alkyl or acyl halide in the presence of a Lewis acid as a catalyst.SDS of cas: 696-59-3
