Oil production from algal cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta by direct thermochemical liquefaction
TL;DR: In this paper, the algal cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta with a moisture content of 78.4 wt% were converted directly into oil by thermochemical liquefaction at around 300°C and 10 MPa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of liquid fuel from hydrocarbon-rich microalgae by thermochemical liquefaction
TL;DR: In this paper, a colony-forming microalga with high moisture content was performed with or without sodium carbonate as a catalyst for conversion into liquid fuel and recovery of hydrocarbons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose decomposition in hot-compressed water with alkali or nickel catalyst
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction mixture was separated into oil, gases, residue and aqueous phase to discuss the reaction mechanism based on the product distribution, and the interpretation of the observation led to a simplified reaction scheme, which produced finally char and gases through oil as intermediates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermochemical liquefaction of indonesian biomass residues
TL;DR: In this paper, 18 kinds of biomass residues in Indonesia were liquefied to heavy oil in hot-compressed water with sodium carbonate as the catalyst at 300°C and around 10MPa.
Journal ArticleDOI
