“Biocrude” and “Biomethane” from Croton bonplandianum

Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 1988
Croton bonplandianum, a latex bearing plant, rich in nitrogen phosphorous and potassium (N-P-K), and which grows wild, yields good quantities (12–30%) of “biocrude” defined in the text). This biocrude can be “hydrocracked” to petroleum oil. The seeds of this plant yield 39% oil which can be a diesel oil substitute. The spent residue after extraction of

Hydrothermal Liquefaction of an Animal Carcass for Biocrude Oil

Energy & Fuels, 2019
This study investigated the optimum operating conditions on hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) for the production of biocrude oil from animal carcass. HTL experiments were carried out at various reaction temperatures (230−350 °C), residence times (10−80 min), solid concentrations (5−20 wt%), and pressures (15−30 MPa).

Valorizing Hydrothermal liquefaction aqueous phase via nanofiltration: Enhancing biocrude production from algal biomass.

Bioresource Technology
The hydrothermal liquefaction aqueous phase (HTL-AP), a nutrient- and carbon-rich waste byproduct of the HTL process, can be recirculated to enhance biocrude production efficiency.

Survey of biocrude-producing plants from the southwest

Economic Botany, 1982
One hundred ninety-five species of plants native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico were surveyed for potential feedstocks for biocrude production in arid lands. Biocrude is the hydrocarbon and hydrocarbonlike chemical fraction of plants which may be extracted by organic solvents and upgraded to liquid fuels and chemical ...

Energy profitability analysis for microalgal biocrude production

Energy, 2013
Abstract This work presents the results of a thorough EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Investment) analysis for biocrude production from microalgae processes. We have investigated different alternatives to maximize the energy recoveries of each process considered, which has been modeled and simulated by Aspen Plus™.

Biocrude production from rice husk: a refinery-compatible approach using light cycle oil and guaiacol.

Waste Management
Biocrude can be produced through the direct thermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass. This biocrude can then be further upgraded in conventional petroleum refineries to produce transportation fuels.

Biocrude from biomass: pyrolysis of cottonseed cake

Renewable Energy, 2001
Abstract Fixed-bed pyrolysis experiments have been conducted on a sample of cottonseed cake to determine the possibility of being a potential source of renewable fuels and chemicals feedstocks, in two different reactors, namely a tubular and a Heinze retort.

Sequential hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulose-rich livestock manure: A new perspective on enhancing the production and quality of low-phenolic biocrude.

Bioresource Technology
The treatment and valorization of bulk livestock manure rich in lignocellulose demands efficient processing techniques. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has emerged as a promising approach for waste-to-energy conversion, effectively transforming ...
