Catalytic hydrothermal processing of microalgae: decomposition and upgrading of lipids.
TLDR
The results indicate that the bio-crude yields from the liquefaction of microalgae were increased slightly with the use of heterogeneous catalysts but the higher heating value (HHV) and the level of de-oxygenation increased, by up to 10%.About:
