TL;DR: GC-MS results indicated that the bio-crude oil contained hydrocarbons and fatty acids, while the aqueous product was rich in organic acids and cyclic amines, which was lower than the typical range of 25%-53% from previous studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of hydrothermal liquefaction of two low-lipid content microalgae in subcritical water between 200 and 320°C at 20°C intervals was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare steam with other gasification agents (oxygen and air) to understand the specific effects of these agents on the resulting gas quality and quantity, and evaluate the influence of different process factors (reactor configurations, temperature, steam to biomass ratio, and catalyst incorporation) in terms of the resulting H2/CO ratio, gas heating value, gas yield, tar yield and energy recovery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of combining swine manure and mixed-culture algae (AW) from wastewater treatment systems for bio-crude oil production via hydrothermal liquefaction was explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of HTL conditions and feedstock composition on the energy and elemental distribution of process outputs with specific emphasis on the hydrothermal liquefaction aqueous phase (HTL-AP) is discussed.
