Hydrothermal liquefaction of harvested high-ash low-lipid algal biomass from Dianchi Lake: Effects of operational parameters and relations of products

Alkaline hydrothermal liquefaction of swine carcasses to bio-oil

“…The produced oil from all microalgae was found to have high heating values (HHVs) of approximately 22.8-36.9 MJ/kg and to have a typical composition was C: 70-75%, H: 5-11%, N: 3-7%, O: 8-19% and S: 0-1%. Shuping et al, 2010;Singh et al, 2015;Tian et al, 2014Tian et al, , 2015Xu and Savage, 2014). It is probably because meat and algae are similar in component.…”

Continuous Hydrothermal Liquefaction for Biofuel and Biocrude Production from Microalgal Feedstock

“…Moreover, biocrude upgrading for drop-in fuel production as well as the reduction of Figure 1. (a) Conceptual and (b) pictorial framework for conversion of microalgae biomass to the bio-energy; adapted from [11,22,24,33,[43][44][45][46][47].…”

“…The biocrude may also be analyzed based on the elemental, fractional groups analysis, boiling points, physical parameters of the viscosity, density, HHV, etc. [45,82]. Elemental analysis is commonly determined with similar methods as the feedstock elemental analysis [83][84][85].…”

“…In addition to experimental analysis, various experimentbased predictive models were proposed to predict the characteristics of HTL products such as yield, HHV, etc. [21,22,45]. A dry, ash free (daf%) based model formula for calculation of products yield was shown as follow:…”

A Review of the Biofuel Yield in Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Different Microalgae

“…Christensen et al [28] processed Phaeodactylum by HTL in order to assess the influence of reaction temperature and reaction time on the product and elemental distribution and found that the highest bio-oil yield can reach 39% under the condition of 350 °C and 15 min. Tian et al [29] focused on the HTL of harvested algae from Dianchi in China and obtained the highest biofuel yield (18.4%) at 300 °C, 60 min and 20% solid concentration. Hognon et al [30] found that the highest biofuel yield was 71% at 230 °C, 60 min and 14% solid concentration for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.…”
