The liquefaction of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata Blume) was studied with various straight-chain alcohols in suberitical and supercritical states using a batch-type reaction vessel to obtain liquid fuel from lignocellulosics. Under the reaction condition of 270 degrees C, beech wood was liquefied to some extent in all alcohols with about 50%-65% insoluble residue left after treatment for 30 min. Under the condition of 350 degrees C, however, more than 90% of wood was decomposed and liquefied in all alcohols. Alcohols with longer alkyl chains liquefied lignocellulosics in shorter reaction times. Because many kinds of alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, can be produced from biomass, 100% biomass-based liquid fuel can be prepared by supercritical alcohol technology when using such bioalcohols.
