Abstract:Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising technology for the conversion of high-moisture biomass into a liquid biofuel precursor without predrying treatment. This study investigated the effects of the heating rate (20−110 °C/min) and feedstock composition on phase repartition of the HTL products. HTL tests were carried out using as feedstocks cellulose, egg albumin, and sunflower oil as model compounds for carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, alone and in binary mixtures. The biocrude, solid residue, and … Show more
