Use of Co-Solvents in Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) of Microalgae

Energies, 2019
This study reviewed and summarized the literature regarding the use of alcohols during hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of algal biomass feedstocks. The use of both pure alcohols and alcohol-water co-solvents were considered.

Biocrude suitability for petroleum refineries

, 1988
Technologies are now being developed that could produce crude oil from biomass, making available an alternative fuel source as petroleum supplies dwindle and prices rise. If the existing infrastructure for transporting and refining petroleum could be used for biocrude, the transition from petroleum would be smoother and less costly.

Full characterization of compounds obtained from fractional distillation and upgrading of a HTL biocrude [PDF]

, 2017
Biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass provides a sustainable source from which to produce chemicals and fuels. However, just as for fossil crude, the chemical complexity of the biocrude impedes the characterization and hence identification ...

Physical and chemical stability of Bagasse biocrude from liquefaction stored in real conditions

, 2016
The stability of biocrude produced from the liquefaction of sugarcane bagasse in ethanol was observed. The degradation characteristics of biocrude and reference fuels, such as diesel, waste cooking oil biodiesel, and their blends, were studied under ...
