Co-Solvent Assisted Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Algal Biomass and Biocrude Upgrading
Fuels, 2022 This study reports the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae Spirulina platenesis in the presence of alcohol or formic acid co-solvents. HTL runs are performed in a 1.8-L batch reactor at 300 °C using an alcohol (methanol and ethanol) or formic ...

Biocrude Production from Wheat Straw at Sub and Supercritical Hydrothermal Liquefaction
Energies, 2020 In this study, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of wheat straw (WS) in sub (350 °C) and supercritical (400 °C) water with and without alkali catalyst was performed to investigate the potential of WS for the production of biocrude.

Lignocellulose Liquefaction to Biocrude: A Tutorial Review [PDF]
ChemSusChem, 2018 AbstractAfter 40 years of research and development, liquefaction technologies are now being demonstrated at 200–3000 tons per year scale to convert lignocellulosic biomass to biocrudes for use as heavy fuel or for upgrading to biofuels. This Review attempts to present the various facets of the liquefaction process in a tutorial manner.

Fractional distillation of hydrothermal liquefaction Biocrude [PDF]
, 2021 This thesis describes fractional distillation as an upgrading method for improving the quality of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) biocrude as a green-based biofuel. Firstly, as a part of the biomass to fuel pathway, aqueous phase recycling in the HTL process increased the yield of biocrude production and reduced the nitrogen content.

Influence of Red Mud Catalyst and Reaction Atmosphere on Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Algae
Energies, 2023 Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms and have a potential to produce renewable biofuel via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). This study investigated the effects of reaction environments on biocrude production from “Tetraselmis sp.” algae strain ...

Thermodynamic analysis of algal biocrude production [PDF]
Energy, 2012 Abstract Although algal biofuels possess great potential, profitable production is quite challenging. Much of this challenge is rooted in the thermodynamic constraints associated with producing fuels with high energy, low entropy, and high exergy from dispersed materials.
