Non-catalytic Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Biomass: An Experimental Design Approach

Energy Procedia, 2017
A face centered central composite design was used for determining the effects of reaction temperature (180-260°C), reaction time (0-2 h) and sawdust concentration (9.1-25 wt%) on conversion and recovered product yields during hydrothermal liquefaction of pine sawdust. The determined conversion and aqueous product (AP) yield were in the range 23.1-57.2%

Hydrothermal liquefaction - upgrading

, 2014
Hydrothermal processes open up the opportunity to convert biomass with a naturally high water content. In biomass conversion without water as a solvent and reactant the carbohydrates 'depolymerise', which requires higher temperatures.

From Citrus to Cymene: Understanding the Hydrothermal Conversion of Limonene

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
When life gives you limonene… Hydrothermal conversion and pyrolysis of limonene give two distinct sets of products, arising from differing reaction cascades. While p‐cymene dominates in the presence of water, indicative of an isomerisation/aromatisation pathway, pyrolysis favours cracking and loss of carbon affording an m‐xylene rich aromatic mix.
