This thesis describes the results of the analytical effort dealing with the products from the preliminary experimental runs using the Advanced Extruder Feeder Biomass Liquefaction Facility in the period from August 1985 to December 1986. Results of the analyses show that a low-oxygen crude wood oil could be produced over a wide range of temperatures, pressures, with or without carbon monoxide and with or without a sodium carbonate catalyst. The analytical procedures have been adapted to evaluate the crude wood oil by standard investigative procedures, including elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography.

Submitted in fulfillment of the academic requirements of the degree of Master of Technology, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016. / The thermophysical properties of the binary mixtures containing biofuel components derived from biomass were determined. Experimental densities, speed of sound, and refractive indices for the binary mixtures (methanol or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [EMIM][OAc] + furfural or furfuryl alcohol ) were measured at T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15) K. From the experimental data, excess molar volume, E m V , isentropic compressibility, s  , molar refractions, R, and deviation in refractive index, Δn, were calculated. The excess molar volumes were found to be negative for all systems studied. The isentropic compressibility were found to be both positive for the whole composition and temperature range and increases slightly with increasing temperature. The deviation in refractive index was positive over the whole composition range. The obtained values of excess molar volumes and changes of refractive index on mixing were satisfactorily correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation. The Lorentz–Lorenz equation was applied to predict the density and calculate the excess molar volume of the binary mixtures. / M
