Co-Solvent Assisted Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Algal Biomass and Biocrude Upgrading

This study reports the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae <i>Spirulina platenesis</i> 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 acid co-solvent. Consequentl...
