The invention provides a method for preparing
biomass-based
methanol, which comprises the following steps: a)
cracking biomass to form biological oil vapor and
biomass carbon
powder; b) performing gas-
solid separation of the biological oil vapor and performing a
water vapor reforming reaction to obtain a biological oil reformed synthesis gas; c)
grinding and mixing the
biomass carbon powder, a catalyst and a bonding agent,
drying the mixture, performing a reduction reaction by using
hydrogen, heating the product of the reduction, performing a
coal gasification reaction and a reverse
coal gasification reaction of the product of the reduction and the biological oil reformed synthesis gas, condensing and
drying the obtained
mixed gas to obtain biomass reformed-modified synthesis gas; and d) performing a synthesis reaction of the biomass reformed-modified synthesis gas, condensing the obtained reaction
tail gas, and obtaining the biomass-based
methanol from a
liquid product. The method can effectively convert a biomass-based synthesis gas into the biomass-based
methanol, uses the rich, environmentally-friendly and
renewable biomass as a
raw material, achieves high methanol yield and selectively, makes
reaction conditions mild and can be used for industrial production.
