Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for producing light oil through liquefying biomass. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing a biomass, a hydrogenation catalyst and a solvent oil to prepare a biomass slurry; (2) carrying out a first liquefaction reaction with the biomass slurry and hydrogen gas to obtain a first reaction product; (3) carrying out a second liquefaction reaction with the first reaction product and hydrogen gas to obtain a second reaction product; (4) subjecting the second reaction product to a first separation operation to produce a light component and a heavy component; (5) carrying out vacuum distillation on the heavy component to obtain a light fraction; (6) mixing the light component with the light fraction to form a mixture, carrying out a hydrogenation reaction on the mixture to obtain a hydrogenation product; and (7) subjecting the hydrogenation product to fractionation operation to obtain a light oil. The two steps of liquefaction on the biomass, followed by separation, vacuum distillation and hydrogenation reaction enable the yield of the light oil to be increased.
