TL;DR: Six species of marine and freshwater green macroalgae were cultivated in outdoor tanks and subsequently converted to biocrude through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) in a batch reactor and identified as suitable feedstocks for scale-up and further HTL studies based on biocrudes productivity, as a function of biomass productivity and the yield of biomass conversion toBiocrude.

TL;DR: An efficient two-step procedure for the deprotection of pinacolyl organoboronate esters is described in this article, where the trifluoroborates with either inorganic base or trimethylsilyl chloride and water are treated.

TL;DR: The opportunities and limitations of functionalising the surfaces of iron-oxide nanoparticles, using coatings containing a catechol-derived anchor are analysed and discussed, including recent advances using dopamine-terminated stabilising ligands.

TL;DR: In this article, a proof-of-concept in the production of high quality renewable biofuel from algae is presented, combining a number of approaches that, when integrated as a whole, create a process that takes algae grown in waste-water through to a liquid fuel containing fractions ready for blending with regular gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of organic co-solvent (n-heptane, toluene and anisole) in the hydrothermal liquefaction of macroalgal biomass was examined as a means of achieving in situ fractionation of the biocrude product according to polarity.
