Coprocessing of Catalytic-Pyrolysis-Derived Bio-Oil with VGO in a Pilot-Scale FCC Riser was written by Wang, Chenxi;Li, Mingrui;Fang, Yunming. And the article was included in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research in 2016.Formula: C16H10O This article mentions the following:
A catalytic-pyrolysis-derived bio-oil, which was characterized by higher H/Ceff ratio and lower oxygen content in comparison to fast-pyrolysis-derived bio-oil, was coprocessed with VGO in a pilot-scale FCC riser. The addition of the bio-oil up to 10% gave nearly equivalent oxygenate content and also similar selectivities of gasoline, bottom oil, and coke compared to those in VGO catalytic cracking alone, suggesting the catalytic-pyrolysis-derived bio-oil was a suitable feedstock for FCC coprocessing. However, the dry gas, including hydrogen and light alkane, was significantly decreased in the coprocessing experiment mainly because of the hydrogen transfer between bio-oil and VGO. Radiocarbon anal. of the product showed that 7% carbon of gasoline was derived from the bio-oil when 10% bio-oil was added to VGO. The coprocessing of biomass catalytic pyrolysis and FCC was highly promising for biomass conversion into biofuel. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Naphtho[2,1-b]benzofuran (cas: 205-39-0Formula: C16H10O).
Naphtho[2,1-b]benzofuran (cas: 205-39-0) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Many natural or synthetic compounds containing benzofuran skeletons have been found to possess remarkable activity as agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Benzofurans are stable towards alkali and readily polymerize on treatment with sulfuric acid, due to which they are useful for the preparation of low cost chemically relatively inert resins.Formula: C16H10O
