Hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae for biocrude production: Improving the biocrude properties with vacuum distillation

Bioresource Technology, 2014
This paper proposes a two-part process for producing biocrude with reduced impurities. The biocrude was produced from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of Spirulina sp. and Tetraselmis sp. in a batch reactor at both 300 and 350°C, 5min, and 16%w/w solid feed composition. The resultant biocrudes were vacuum distilled at a maximum temperature of 360°C.

Biocrude production in arid lands

Economic Botany, 1983
Recent research in the development of bioenergy crops for arid and semiarid regions has stressed the objective of increasing biomass productivity in order to improve energetic and economic returns. However, an examination of the constraints on arid-adapted plant species indicates that a preferable approach to biocrude feedstock development is one that ...

Catalytic upgrading of duckweed biocrude in subcritical water

Bioresource Technology, 2014
Herein, a duckweed biocrude produced from the hydrothermal liquefaction of Lemna minor was treated in subcritical water with added H₂. Effects of several different commercially available materials such as Ru/C, Pd/C, Pt/C, Pt/γ-Al₂O₃, Pt/C-sulfide, Rh/γ-Al₂O₃, activated carbon, MoS₂, Mo₂C, Co-Mo/γ-Al₂O₃, and zeolite on the yields of product fractions ...

Hydrothermal liquefaction of paddy straw for biocrude production

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021
Abstract As per the MNRE statistics, the current annual availability of biomass in India is estimated to be 500 million metric tons. Most of the biomass were just dumped, burnt or reused very little. This unexploited potential of biowastes can be converted to an energy rich fuel through hydrothermal processing.

“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).

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 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.
