✦ Synopsis

Bio-petroleum with unusual H/C molar ratio of 1.90 and higher heating value of 44.22 MJ/kg was obtained from soybean stalk by deoxyliquefaction (deoxygenation in the process of liquefaction). This bio-petroleum had similar composition to fossil petroleum which contains longchain alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The oil with H/C molar ratio of 2.00 and the higher heating value of 46.95 MJ/kg was obtained after bathing with 1% NaOH solution by refluxing. And then this bathed bio-petroleum was directly distilled and the fractions were boiled under <120 8C, 120-180 8C, 180-240 8C, 240-350 8C, respectively, of which the distillate of 240-350 8C was almost the same with diesel oil in composition and could be used as a substitute transport fuel after decolorization using activated clay.
