Analysis of energy conversion characteristics in direct liquefaction of algae
This study applies a thermochemical liquefaction process to convert biomass of algae into oil in the presence of water at high temperature (about 300–340 °C) and high pressure (about 20 MPa), with or w/o alkali catalyst. Thermochemical liquefaction has merit of not requiring drying process. The maximum oil and energy yields obtained at 33 & 40% on organic basis. Following conditions suggested: reaction temperature 340 °C, holding time 30 min, and catalyst dosage 5 wt.%. (2003) - Read More
