2016
Lee, Yumi | Lee, Eun Yeol
Red pine wood, Pinus densiflora , biomass was liquefied through liquefaction using a solvent mixture of crude glycerol and PEG-400 with a sulfuric acid catalyst. The liquefaction process parameters of crude glycerol/PEG-400 blending ratio, biomass loading, acid loading, reaction temperature, and reaction time were optimized. Biopolyol with 61.9% biomass conversion was produced at 170°C within 1 h using a co-solvent of crude glycerol and PEG-400 (5/5, w/w), 15% biomass loading, and 3% sulfuric acid loading. The biopolyol possessed a 4.2 mg KOH/g acid number and 892.4 mg KOH/g hydroxyl number. Polyurethane foam was successfully synthesized from the liquefied red pine wood biomass with toluene diisocyanate. The synthesis of biopolyurethane derived from red pine wood biopolyol was confirmed with FT-IR.
