ABSTRACT
Solvolysis liquefaction of soda lignin in the presence of various transition metal sulfide
catalysts was studied to investigate the catalyst effects on the oil and gas
yields, conversion rate and higher heating value (HHV)
of oil. Nanosized copper sulfide, iron sulfide and
molybdenum sulfide were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal
method under reaction temperature 200°C for 90 min. The addition of transition
metal sulfide based catalysts (CuS, MoS2 and
FeS2) enhanced both production of the oils and gas and
the higher heating value (HHV) of oil products. A high oil and
gas yields of 82.1% and 2890 cm3 was
obtained with MoS2 at
250°C for 60 min. Elemental analyses for the oils revealed that the liquid
products have much higher heating values than the crude soda lignin powder.
Keywords: Catalyst; higher
heating value; hydrothermal; soda lignin; solvolysis liquefaction
ABSTRAK
Pencecairan solvolisis soda lignin dengan kehadiran pelbagai mangkin sulfida logam peralihan telah dikaji tentang kesan mangkin ke atas hasil minyak dan gas, kadar penukaran dan nilai pembakaran tinggi (HHV) minyak solvolisis. Sulfida kuprum, sulfida ferum dan sulfida molibdenum yang bersaiz nano telah berjaya disintesis melalui kaedah hidroterma di bawah suhu 200°C dalam masa tindak balas sepanjang 90 minit. Penggunaan mangkin sulfida logam peralihan (CuS, MoS2 and
FeS2) dalam proses solvolisis telah meningkatkan kadar hasil minyak serta gas dan produk minyak telah berjaya mencapai nilai pembakaran (HHV) yang tinggi. Hasil minyak dan gas yang tinggi iaitu: 82.1% and 2890 cm3 telah diperoleh dengan penggunaan mangkin MoS2 di bawah suhu 250°C selama 60 minit. Analisis unsur untuk minyak solvolisis menunjukkan produk cecair daripada pencecairan solvolisis mempunyai nilai pembakaran tinggi (HHV)
yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan serbuk soda lignin.
