Bio-oil can serve as an alternative fuel source or resource to extract high value-added chemicals. This paper focuses on the effect of six types of biomass (rape straw, corn straw, walnut shell, chestnut shell, camphor wood, and pine wood) and ZnCl2 catalyst on the bio-oil yield and chemicals in the bio-oil, including aldehydes, ketones, and four high-value chemicals (1-hydroxy-2-butanone, propionaldehyde, 5-HMF, 2(5H)-furanon). The results showed that the yields of bio-oil decreased when the ZnCl2 was the catalyst. The ZnCl2 promoted the production of aldehydes and ketones. The higher contents of aldehydes and ketones were obtained from camphor and pine wood, at 58.9 wt% and 42.0 wt%, respectively. The ZnCl2 catalyst exhibited an active influence on the production of 1-hydroxy-2-butanone, propionaldehyde, 5-HMF, and 2(5H)-furanon. Compared with the non-catalytic pyrolysis, the content of 1-hydroxy-2-butanone and 2(5H)-furanone in bio-oil increased by 936% and 612%, respectively. The contents of propionaldehyde and 5-HMF in catalytic bio-oil were the highest from rape straw and increased by 193% and 86%, respectively.

Using Modelica language, a mathematical model combining static and dynamic contributions of the dense phase region of a 130 t/h biomass circulating fluidized bed boiler combustion system was established on MWorks simulation platform. The mathematical model adopted modular packaging to increase the universality of the model, and it used an implicit, high-order, and multi-step Dassl integration algorithm to conduct the simulation. Under the design condition parameters, the relative error between the bed temperature of the dense phase region obtained by the simulation model and the actual temperature was less than 3.8%, which indicated that the static characteristics of the established simulation model were accurate. The effects of biomass feed and primary air volume step changes on the bed temperature, oxygen content in the flue gas, height of the dense phase region, and the bed pressure difference in the dense phase region were investigated. Both the biomass feeding and the primary wind step of 10% reduced the temperature, and it was obvious that the primary wind had a greater impact on the bed temperature. Meanwhile, the primary wind had a greater impact on the bed pressure difference than the biomass feeding.
