Abstract
Wood powder suspended in water was directly liquefied in the presence of nickel carbonate or potassium carbonate without a reducing agent like hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide. Heavy oils with carbon and hydrogen contents of about 80% were produced and their heats of combustion ranged from 29.3 to 33.4 MJ/kg. Total carbon recovery in the form of heavy oils was about 24%.Keywords
