Experimental and Comprehensive Evaluation of Vegetable Oils for Biomass Tar Absorption.

ABSTRACT: Biomass tar is the bottleneck of biomass gasification, which not only is adverse to energy production but also brings severe environmental issues. A scrubber with vegetable oil is considered as a low-cost but efficient approach for tar removal, but the effects of oil's properties on different tar absorptions were rarely reported. In this study, canola oil, palm oil, and pure oleic acid and linoleic acid, which are the main compounds of vegetable oils, were employed for absorptive removal of benzene, toluene, and phenol. The degree of unsaturation, average molecular weight, and average chain length of solvents were quantitatively characterized. A series of time and temperature-dependent absorption experiments were conducted, and the relationship between oils' properties and absorption perfo
