Selective Regulation of Nitrogen-containing Compounds from Nitrogen-rich Tobacco Stem via Two-step Hydrothermal Liquefaction Over Metal-modified Zeolite
摘要
Conversion of nitrogen-rich tobacco stem (TS) to nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs) via two-step hydrothermal liquefaction process over metal-modified HZSM-5 zeolite was studied for the first time. The results showed that HZSM-5 could promote the generation of NCCs, and the relative content of NCCs reached 64.13%. The modified HZSM-5 did not stimulate the NCCs in bio-oil as effectively as the unmodified HZSM-5. However, metal-modified HZSM-5 exhibited significant selectivity toward nicotine in bio-oil, up to 27.17% over Cu/HZSM-5, while exhibited lower coking rates. Finally, the possible reaction mechanism for the formation of NCCs from TS and urea was proposed. This work proposes a novel strategy for preparing NCCs through synergistic utilization of biomass and urea.
